So with a tummy tuck.......



Recommended Posts

Does the scar go in the same spot a caesarean scar is - like right down low about the pubic bone?

Just interested, I'd suspect I probably wouldnt ever need one - still in my 30's, not too enormous a weight problem and blessed with good skin genes, dont have a single stretch mark after 3 babies.

But you never know do you? I'll definitely need to do something about the old bazoongas - I've breastfed for 6 years in total! They look bad now, they'll be deflated baloons minus a bit of weight.

My DH is already dreaming about a holiday to Thailand - our equivalent of Mexico for all things cosmetic.

i had 4 c-sections and 2 yrs ago i had a Tummy Tuck

yes they do cut on the same as where the caesarean

cut was but u will be fine as you have had only 3 but i was risking because i already had four and my scar tissue was not good. It is a huge cut hip from hip and geez the pain afterwards....nuthin like a caesarean!! Its worth getting though but i really should have waited till i lost heaps more weight as its starting to come back now.

Thanks!

      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.
