I have been to see 3 surgeons and decided on James Murphy Spire a Hospital
He was recommended by Jane whose had a similar procedure with him. I felt very comfortable, he took his time and answered all my questions. Count down begins. I don't want to think about it too much. Reading other people's reviews has been very helpful. Thanks everyone.

The Tummy - Big Hernia and Recti Diastasis 2 months pre op
I have been reading and reading reviews. I am terrified of the op! I have cancelled the op in my mind a million times. I am happy with my surgeon its the whole op and recovery that terrifies me endless. A few photos any advices and words of encouragement would be great.

It will be difficult perhaps the first few days but with help you will be fine! I had the same going on with my tummy and really the tuck is not where my pain is coming from. It's the lipo areas that I have to get past. The below list is a good one! Make sure you have your recovery area set up ahead of time so that you can see what works best for you. Then go for it! The love of your results will be greater than your fears.

Thank you so much yourself and Jazzybee have truly inspired me. How did yours go? Hope ur recovering well. Cant wait to see your pics. Am trying my best to stay positive but the size of me tummy scares me like its to big to go flat! Lol. Happy healing. God be with u

How exciting! I'm excited for you! These next few months are going to fly for the both of us! I noticed the cost of your surgery. WOW!!!

July 9, 2014
LOL! i was quite shocked when i got the costing as well and dazed i dint even question it actually. am not sure if its because am having a mesh and hernia repair as well with the mommy make over. The PS is meant to be very good and its a 2 night stay at the hospital. i guess it all adds up.

Visit to the nurse 2 months post op
I went to see the PS nurse on monday, she said i should come over to ask a few more questions and get a bit more clarity, it was nice of them and i feel more confident with my choice. I,ll be seeing my PS on the 23rd to ask a few more questions before my pre-op in August. Its not easy not to over think the surgery. i guess when you have done then you focus on recovery. Before that all you can think of is the actual procedure. God is my strength.

Yeah, I get the over-thinking it. I've been spending WAY too much time on this sight much of the summer. I'm having my TT with MR tomorrow. So excited to finally get through it and on to recovery!! I'll be watching for your updates- early September?

Lol @Janeellie how are you TT Veterans? Lucky you, I have not been thinking about it much just want Aug to come to an end. Started taking some vitamins and some preps for recovery and praying everything goes smooth with no complications. Will keep you updated. Thanks for checking in.

hiya I have put a few on, hard to take the damn thngs yourself lol, Trust me you will be fine, just do as James and Jackie tell you and you will breeze through the recovery, the first 2 weeks are the toughest, after that each day gets better and better. no lifting, twisting or bending them first few weeks, keep the binder on, that way you should not get a seroma, make sure you keep on top of the pain meds and have lots of pillows to the ready for when you get home, have a small table at the side of you with your meds on, Hubby also filled a sports bottle with juice and put that beside me so I drank enough fluids, try and walk around every 2 hrs for a few mins to keep the circulation going, excited for you, it is such a rewarding surgery, I shown hubby my pre op pics last night and he asked who it was ha ha, made me giggle, I said have you forgot how it use to look, it was disgusting, cannot believe how it use to look. xx
