Good luck and happy healing! I had severe separation of my muscles as well and am soooo happy to now have that fixed. Can't wait to hear how you did.

Had my pre-op appointment last Wednesday and it took some of my nervousness away. I feel a lot more comfortable but still scared. My ps let me ask as many questions as I needed and took her time to answer them. I did find out that she does not want me to use a compression garment after the surgery. She said that she wants me to have proper blood flow and circulation. She is also hoping to save my belly button and that it doesn't die during recovery. My belly button is completely deformed due to my umbilical hernia. Today I picked up my prescription and bought a few things that I will need for after my surgery. Its getting more real!

Congratulations bren!
You definitely deserve this!!!
After 2 c-section 1 set of twins as well : ) ! I went to 35 weeks, I developed the diastais. My pain tolerance has become a lot stronger than what it used to be!
Hallelujah! ; )
I actually had a lower body lift which is inclusive of a tummy tuck.
I did really benefit from the raised toilet seat, grabber thingy, and ice packs!
Merely my opinion but the best thing I did was get reliable trusted help for my daughter. My sister has been staying with me since the day of surgery.
She is only 21... but works fulltime. She has really helped me throw my worry meter away! ; )u
The pain was there but manageable. I stayed on top of meds. Surprisingly, I was off meds by day 6 or 7. please be encouraged. I believe in your strengths. ... having 3 babies at 1 time is an experience like non other!!!!
U got this.
We are all here to support & encorage.
God's best to you and yours! : )

Awww thank you so much for the encouragement. You look great! I'm going through so many emotions at once =(
I thought my first C-section with my twins was very tough but I did a lot better when I had the second one. I was able to get off of pain meds fast even the nurse was surprised. I hope my recovery isn't too tough. I just feel bad because my girls are attached to me and I'm afraid they wont understand that mommy can't carry them for a few weeks. I'm also afraid of something going wrong during surgery or not being happy with my results. God willing everything will work out! =)
