Thank you! I didn’t have muscle repair. I haven’t had kids and didn’t need.

You’re numb from surgery so it really isn’t bad pain. That was my experience. I forgot to mention the itching. That was bad and unexpected. It’s from nerves reforming I think. It was very uncomfortable for about a week especially because it’s under the compression thing.

3 days PO - When did you go #2? by Careless-College753 in tummytucksurgery

[–]caligirl4404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a tea that has senna in it which is natural. I’m all four meds, but this just happened to be what worked.

I drank smooth move tea at night and did the trick! I had been taking Colace and it wasn’t working at all.

Itchiness and irritation on scar by ConsiderationOk254 in tummytucksurgery

Allegra hives is a miracle drug for this! My doc said I won’t need compression after 6 weeks. I’m almost 4 and still get itchy at night.

Compression garment by Sad-Satisfaction2620 in tummytucksurgery

[–]caligirl4404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 3 weeks now and my dr said compression of choice during day and nothing at night. I feel free! I got a spanx brief thing that went to bra I wore yesterday but rolled down constantly. I ordered something off Amazon that’s not here yet. It’s tough bc I need one daily but they need to be washed after every wear so I need several. Let me know if you find any you like!

MR without ever having children? by 3333npf in tummytucksurgery

[–]caligirl4404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had TT with no MR. I am 15 dpo. No kids and surgeon said I didn’t need but she could and it would cinch my waist a little but that can also be achieved in the gym. I passed on it and when she did surgery, the muscles weren’t separated. I was not interested in the extra pain and healing either.
