WEIGHT LOSS AFTER HYSTERECTOMY
Have any women out there had a tummy tuck (mine would be associated with hernia surgery)?

The tummy tuck is not for weight loss reasons – I am not even close to being heavy – I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago due to major complications from a huge fibroid. Although I healed great inside (which, of course, is of major importance) I healed horrible on the outside. I have and incisional hernia and can have a tummy tuck to correct the horrible healing from the other surgery. I does make me a bit nervous. Any feedback??

Hi !

I had a tummy tuck done in July, but mine was for weight loss reasons, so I am not sure if the procedure is the same, but I’ll share my experience anyway.

I did not think the pain was bad at all. The thing that hurt the most was my BACK because I was hunched over for awhile. The most important thing is to get up and get moving the NEXT DAY. The quicker your body learns to move with it’s new mid-section, the better! Also, I’m not sure if you will have them, but there are “drains” that they put in for about a week. THOSE are not fun, and you will feel SO MUCH BETTER once they are removed. My scar is from hip to hip, but low, so it’s under my bikini panty line.

Not sure if you will go through the same type of surgery, but if you do, don’t worry about it. I had a wonderful experience and I’m very happy with my results.

Hope this helped, and feel free to contact me if you have more specific questions!

Whether to have a hysterectomy, try some other treatment, or postpone any decision for the moment and let nature take its course, is a decision of great importance to many women. It is an unforgettable, deeply-felt experience, and one of the most common major surgical procedures performed in many countries. Concern that it is overused has been triggered by findings of big variations in rates of hysterectomy between and within countries for no clear reason. The United States has the highest rate of hysterectomy, followed by Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Holland, England, Wales, Scotland, Sweden and Japan. The disparities are large, with at least three hysterectomies performed on US women for every one in Scotland. Various suggestions have been made to account for the variations. Could it be that there are differences in inherited tendencies for the development of gynaecological diseases in different countries? Could the explanation lie in environmental factors? What about lifestyle habits? And what of cultural practices? Or might rates of hysterectomy have something to do with the perceptions of women and their doctors about what constitutes a ‘normal’ bleeding pattern and a lack of information, and family, workplace or social support when change occurs? This new edition of Hysterectomy (first published in 1982) sets out to explode myths about the surgery, to update the information as to what women can expect if they undergo it, and to persuade them to consider the alternatives. It is partly based on major new research by the Key Centre for Women’s Health in Society at the University of Melbourne. Lorraine Dennerstein and Carl Wood, Two of the original authors, have been joined by Ann Westmore. Wide-ranging, sympathetic, lucid, and down-to-earth, Hysterectomy closes with a useful section answering questions that often arise before, during or after treatment.
