female only I want a tummy tuck.

[MOMIOF3CV 11]

I am only 4 weeks banded.

I am having a hysterectomy in three weeks.

Should I see about having a Tummy Tuck at the same time?

Or how does that work?

If you had a tummy tuck, how long after banding did you wait?

why would you want a Tummy Tuck at 4 weeks post op. what happens when you lose all your weight it would be useless at this point.

Most people wait until they are 30 or less pounds from their goal

Trust me on this one...you should DEFINITELY wait.

Recovery from a hysterectomy is enough to deal with without the added strain of recovering from a Tummy Tuck. Plus you need to be close to your goal weight first. Definitely wait on this.

Well, I was orginally scheduled for July for my hysterectomy and with probs we are moving it up.

I have heard that some people have it done all at once. I figured I had time to research and decide what

I wanted to do. Not to mention this will be my 3rd surgery in 4 months. Really dont want to have anymore than

I have too. First one was in Feb for my ovaries. Doctor went in and did a few things to try and avoid the hysterectomy.

Then the lapband and now here I go.

So that was what I was thinking.

I am down 24 lbs. and because of my c-section scar...things are hanging. Ya know?

But I will wait. Have no idea what I am facing with the hysterectomy.

I would wait. Plus u don't want an obgyn doing a tummy tuck! Not to mentiom if u r having a vaginal hysterectomy there wont b an abdominal incision. U could also have a laproscopic hysterectomy & those incisions wouldnt b appropriate for a Tummy Tuck.< /p>
