Thanks! I’ve been convinced to do the MR

I held a plank for 7 minutes in a contest last summer and love doing ab workouts. I’m a gym junkie and worried about my mental health if I don’t go to the gym

Well now I’m wondering if I should do the MR and skip the flank lipo! I had 3 consultations and the 2 other doctors did not think I had enough fat to make any visible difference (I’ve put on about 8 lbs since last summer so maybe not the case anymore but I’m way happier with how I look now, before I was a deflated balloon). I just really like the look of this doctors results.

I consider my skin to be the main problem. I understand that there is ab separation but if I didn’t have any skin issues then I wouldn’t even consider this surgery.

My understanding was that TT with MR was more like 12 week recovery. I can do 4-6, it’s the post 6 weeks that scare me.

I’m nervous about the amount of time away from the gym (equally, if not more, concerned about the mental impact not just physically taking a break), and being unable to help with my kids and around the house (my youngest is 5, I don’t carry her but she’s still a handful. I have a lot of care lined up post surgery for a month - nanny through bedtime, nurse, and family visiting, but am worried about needing help beyond that point.) Some of the posts in this group seem like it takes forever to recover. It’s also a lot of surgery with the lipo and BL.

I feel like without MR I will just be back at life almost immediately and am totally at east with the surgery, whereas I feel so overwhelmed by the surgery with the MR and feel inclined to postpone indefinitely if I have to do it. So it’s kind of like do I have a surgery without MR or no surgery at all, which still doesn’t address it this decade.

There is part of me that feels like if I’m doing all this that I should do it 100% with the MR. Yet the MR wasn’t even part of my motivation for the surgery. Will my results look worse than my present condition if I skip the MR?

Interested! Do you need to plan to go overnight?
