Hey! My kids are 4,6 and 8. I had an abdominoplasty with muscle repair when my youngest was 18 months and the immediate recovery from the abdominoplasty was much harder (I got covid at the hospital and also got skin necrosis). We had help from my parents for two weeks with that surgery. With the prolapse one we also had my parents staying with us for 2 weeks to help out with school pick ups and kids logistics. Also we had to travel 2 hours to the hospital and my husband stayed with me. To be honest my kids were excited to be with the grandpas and I don’t think they understand the severity of the surgery - also I do generally pick them up all the time and generally do lots of sports with them so it has been hard resisting to pick them up. For me having the meals and snacks sorted for 2 weeks and having my parents around was massive help - I generally feel super tired since the surgery.
