1 year ago i had a full tummy tuck with a hernia repair ..but i also do not have a gallbladder to break down my foods so some foods I eat causes bloating at times . I have noticed when i wear my faja garments it helps with the bloating...but my question is is it safe to do sit-ups with out damaging the hernia repair? I'm getting frustrated and tired of always wearing it because it's been a whole of wearing it each day..can I do 50 sit-ups aa night and or planks to help with bloating? Without damage
umbilical hernia, 3 cm on the outside I'm told. Size of a grape. about 3.5 DR separation. Surgeon wants to use permanent duramesh sutures. I know it's NOT the same thing at all, but I have a family member who had a horrible hernia repair that was a mesh repair, and it just completely cheese wired inside of her, and she needed multiple revisions because it kept failing. So I don't know the correlation between a suture made out of mesh vs normal permanent suture in TT. Thanks
Do you have to use mesh for a tummy tuck result with an hourglass shape? I would love to avoid implanting something foreign in my body but really want the hourglass TT result. Is it just as possible to get it without mesh, or less likely to be possible? Thank you!
Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my question. I am 5'9 150lbs and very active, but I have a significant distasis recti and externally visible hernia as a result of 2 pregnancies. So much so that while lying on my back, I can see intestinal peristalsis when food is digesting. My doctor mentioned she may need to add mesh during my procedure (TT W/ No lipo.) I do not want mesh. Can my hernia and seperation not be corrected by just simply suturing the muscle together? Thanks!
I had a tummy tuck 6 years ago and now I have a hiatal hernia. My general surgeon suggested robotic hernia repair with mesh. He wants to do a 10 x 10 of mesh to also fix other weak spots in my abdomen. Will the robotic repair affect the cosmetic side of my tummy tuck? Will I need another tummy tuck? Also my muscles were not tightened last time because the surgeon didnt want to work with previous mesh from an incisional hernia repair that was repaired 23 years ago
I'm interested in a tummy tuck. If I'm not a candidate for the FDL tummy tuck and get an extended TT, could my previous vertical scar be removed? Thank you. PREVIOUS SURGERIES: Lapriscopic hysterectomy Open ab surgery to repair tear during hysterectomy Large incisional hernia/AWR with mesh x2 (first surgery for hernia failed)
I had a tummy tuck with mesh to repair my large diastasis recti. I have noticed that my upper abdomen bulges out a bit more than the rest. It is firm when I touch it as is my whole midline to my abdomen, but I can feel a hard bulge. Is this scar tissue or inflammation still? Above the bulge by my sternum is an indentation that I can push my finger into, is this diastasis that should have been sewn and is still open? How far up do surgeons sew? Do I need a revision?
I am planning to have a tummy tuck but I had a ventral hernia in my central lower abdomen 6 years ago. This was repaired with onlay positioned 2x3cm permanent mesh. Would this prevent my surgeon from being able to perform the muscle repair part of the surgery? I have had 4 c sections and suffered severe polyhydramnios in my first pregnancy so believe I will need muscle repair to achieve good aesthetic results.
