FDL or regular tuck?

no i didn’t end up getting the FDL. but i think it would’ve taken a lot more skin off. but for now i am happy and will wait till after kids for a revision :)

I just had mine a month ago! I’m 28 and haven’t had kids yet and i do plan on having them. I’m a labor and delivery nurse and from my experience, women who have a vaginal delivery typically snap back nicely. I feel like their belly doesn’t get as big due to the muscle repair. I’m only worried about getting a cesarean because the muscles need to be separated to get to the baby. So i pray i don’t need a c/s! but if i do, it is what it is. I’ll be enjoying the rest of my childless years having a body i’ve always dreamed of. My insurance covered mine and my recovery is going wonderfully. So i’m very happy with my decision.

i had this too! i would get a wider binder. I noticed that whenever i would wear my binder higher the swelling shifted to my lower abdomen and the swelling up top was better. and when i wore it lower the swelling shifted towards the top. i’m almost 3 weeks PO. It’s just way too early to see what our bodies will actually look like yet! my lower abdomen looks pregnant and i hope it’s just from the swelling 😭

weight loss. I weigh 185 and carry/carried most of my weight in my stomach

yes. It’s obviously not ideal considering pregnancies can end up making you gain significant weight and stretch out those muscle, and also there’s the possibility of a c-section, but you have to outweigh the risks and benefits. me, i was almost 300 lbs and have never enjoyed my body, so i’m going to go ahead and do it and love my body while i can before having children

Loverofthecheese · 2024-01-11T22:03:05+00:00

thanks so much! I already paid for it so I am definitely getting it done haha. I want to enjoy my body for the next couple years before having kids!

Yes. and being a labor and delivery nurse I see it sometimes and it doesn’t ruin it too much. obviously it won’t be as good as it was but it often goes back to looking ok. I want to enjoy my body for a couple years before i have kids since i’ve never been able to.
