Anyone Had A Baby After A Tummy Tuck?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is in July, and hopefully by next year July I should be at goal or close to. I don't know how my skin will be, but anywho, I do not want to have any more children any time soon, but I have heard it's best to wait until you are done having kids before having a Tummy Tuck. For those who have had babies after tucks, did it bounce back?

I've never had a child before, but why don't you just wait until after you are finished to have it....tummy tucks cost atleast 10K here in the states....why stretch your skin out again after paying 10K to get it cut off??

I had a Tummy Tuck in 1999, and then had my son in 2007. I had a really good surgeon, and not only did it bounce back after my baby, it's flat right now after losing 50 pounds!! I am very happy to still be seeing great benefits from that surgery. I had it after losing 90 pounds the first time...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
