Seperated Stomach Muscles Or Diastasis Recti

[Shemy-away 83]

Hey everyone!

I have seperated stomach muscles from my first pregnancy. I ended having a c-section and every since then I've suffered lower back pain. My doctor says this is because my core muscles no long support my back. From what I understand, they lace your muscles back together like a corset. I would like to have this repaired and would like to know of your experiences or any stories that you have heard about it to determine if its worth the hassle.

THANKS!

Hi,

I have it too, but from my beer belly. I ran accross this site which I found to be encouraging. Don't worry, it's very common.

Best,

Philip

Update: My surgeon told me that the only way to fix it is to get a "tummy tuck".

UPDATE: Several people who tried the Tupler thing told me it doesn't work. Tummy Tuck is the only way it seems.

Oh wow so this is an alternative to surgery? Interesting. I'm years away from any kind of Tummy Tuck, etc - but these B&A photos look promising.

From what I understand, the muscle repair is standard operating procedure during a Tummy Tuck. They don't just remove skin - they repair the damage as well.
