Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 , I REALLY sympathize with your friend. I was in the same boat from carrying a 9 1/2 pound baby, and I'm 5 ft, 90pds, so you can imagine that my stomach was just a mess. Umbilical hernia, stomach muscles separated, etc you name it. So when my plastic surgery miraculously told me how he could fix all of it I was enthused. That's when I decided to throw in the implants as a treat. I know he tied my muscles back together using some type of nylon sucture. I had never given that much thought before. Also, I've had 2 c-cections and I've been sewn back internally with nylon suctures as well. Some of that can't be helped and I pray that none of that is responsible for my condition today. I really think it was the implants. Dr K thinks so as well. She did tell me I would be having some type of stomach pain in that area if it was from the tummy tuck. As for your friend, I would encourage her to hold off a little. Do you think vaginal exercises would help her at all? I can't remember the spelling, but it's kegels or something like that. My sisterinlaw just recently had her uterus removed and they had to put her bladder in a nylon mesh sling. It's incredible. I had no idea they could do things like that. So far she is fine. hugs, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
