1 Month Until Surgery

I am 27 years old and have 3 kids. After my pregnancy 3 years ago, I was left with diastasis recti. I was able to get my 5 finger width seperation down to about a 2 with exercise and it somehow blew back out to 4. I have been waiting patiently for 3 years for this and feel very excited for my upcoming surgery. My experience with Dr. Pederson has been fantastic so far and I can't wait to see what he can do.

Thank you for sharing your journey! I just booked and I am 9 weeks out from my surgery. I have three children as well. I feel humbled and overwhelmed and I'm not sure where to begin with preparation. I wish you well in your preparation and with your procedure.

That is great news! How are you doing?

I am doing fantastic. Looks like my drain has to stay in for a little while longer but I definitely am feeling like I'm on my way back to normal.

I also have three kids and DR
I’m two weeks out from my surgery and I can only hope to see results like yours. How is everything going?

Sorry for the delay. Still getting used to the site. I'm doing very good. The first week is definitely the worst to get through. After that, I started feeling better daily.

Had my tummy tuck yesterday and am doing fantastic. I felt well prepared beforehand thanks to my doctor and I feel like it has already made a difference in how I am recovering. I can't wait to see it without the binder.

Had my follow up appointment today. The drain wasn't ready to come out yet but I feel great otherwise. Swelling is starting to go down too. Hopefully I can get this drain out next week. Next appointment is in 3 weeks with the surgeon.

It gets to be a roller coaster, just take care of you. I had my TT Aug 28 and I have good days and bad days. Just remember everyday you will feel better and better.

That is so true. Somedays I get up and feel fantastic like I could do anything and other days I get up and just want to stay in the chair.
