2 weeks post op
It’s just over two weeks since my op (Brazilian abdominoplasty with repair of diastasis recti) and I’m doing okay! I’ve found the recovery tough at times, especially the first few days. Sleeping on my back has been difficult and I developed quite severe back pain by day 7. I’m taking some stronger anti-inflammatories and feeling more comfortable now. The pain is much less now but I still feel very low on energy.
However, I’m absolutely thrilled with the results so far and would do it all again for sure! I’ve uploaded some pictures which I took a couple of days ago and I can’t believe how great I look so early on in my recovery. I’m still very swollen, especially towards the end of the day, and my stomach is very hard. My scar is very neat and so far is healing really well. I’m also really pleased with my belly button.
Mr Van Nierkirk is an excellent surgeon and has taken great care of me to achieve the best results. He had a reputation for being a perfectionist and he certainly lived up to this for me. I cannot recommend him enough! I’m so grateful to him for helping to get a bit of me back and starting to feel confident about my body once again. I also already feel stronger and more stable in my core and cannot wait until I can start to exercise again so I can tone the rest of my body up to match my new stomach!

Brazilian Adominoplasty Mr Van Niekirk
So I’m booked in on Friday 6th November for Brazilian adominoplasty with Mr Van Niekirk in London. Feeling very nervous, especially with the Covid situation. Having the procedure to repair my diastasis recti and remove the shelf! I want back what is rightfully mine after 3 children and 3 c-sections! I’ve booked in to the hospital for an overnight stay but wondering if I will need this? What have other people’s experiences been? Has anyone wished they had/hadn’t stayed overnight?
