Question:
For those of you who have already had a tummy tuck, hernia repair ?

Now that my surgery has been approved and a date set for surgery to repair hernias and do a tummy tuck what should I be doing to get raady? I have a month until my surgery and want to be ready both physcially and mentally for this surgery. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!    — Rebecca D. (posted on June 6, 2002)

I just had a tummy tuck and hernia repair six weeks ago today. What I did to prepare was to walk everyday so the healing process would go smoothly. I was back at work two weeks after surgery.

I had hernia repair and skin removed a little over 3 months ago. The better physical shape you are in, the easier the recovery. Also, I was surprised how fatigued I was following surgery. I thought it would be no big deal but it really did me in the first week. Good luck!
