If you will be two months post op by your daughters birthday, then I am sure you would be okay by then. I am two weeks post op and I feel okay enough. Even if it takes you slightly longer to recover, two months should be a sufficient amount of time. You should be able to breastfeed, I don't see why it would matter. Will your baby drink from a cup? The only thing I would be concerned with it the baby moving around and causing you pain right after surgery. I would just voice your concerns to your PS and see what they say! Good luck to you! Having a strong support system is the most important thing.

So, as the date gets closer I keep freaking out although same time happy then scared. I have not been able to wean my 23 month old of my boob. She is always with me and it's hard to say no to my beautiful black eyes princess. Has anyone done this whike still feeding? Second my husband keeps telling me not to do it. He says its a major surgery and to be honest I'm scared I might die in the process and leave my precious babies behind. Anyone heard of such thing? Idk if he tells me bc he is scared or what. 3 my baby doesn't take bottles or any sort of liquid but water in cup I'm afraid to leave for 3 days ugh. And we'll just want advice or comments if you know. He tells me I don't need it and can just work out to lose it. Probably can truth is I will never have time I always put all else in front of me besides going to the gym.

It might be easier to wait until your daughter starts to take a cup. It is absolutely a major surgery. I haven't heard of anyone dying from an operation like this in the US. Maybe in Mexico or the DR, I have read about it happening. However, as long as your PS is certified and reputable, then you do not have anything to worry about. In fact, you have a higher chance of dying in a traffic accident... As for working out, even if you worked out every single day for two hours a day, it is not going to happen. There is no way you can force your abdominal muscles back together, nor is it humanly possible for you to make excess skin become tight once again; it just is not. Best of luck to you! :)

That's true. Odds are I will do it anyway. She is almost two and maybe the time away will wean her off cold turkey bc she will not accept the wean to good but she is smart and knows it's time. I have more people telling me to workout and lose weight but I have hard time losing and have not time to work out like crazy to do it. Thank you ☺️ When is yours?
