Hi Karrie
I had a radical tummy tuck called a paniculectomy, in 05. Iit was the best thing
I ever did for myself. It actually saved my lief since it kept me from getting
serious recurrrent hernias.  have ganied weight since the procedure but it still
looks so much better than my original abdomen. Constant exercise is not
necessary in my opinion, actually in my case I was warned against doing sit ups.
Low impact exercise, walking, etc is best. It is very painful and there are a
lot of risks and restrictions while healing but i would do it again.
Best of Luck

Hi
looking for information from all you girls who had tummy tucks...
have you been able to keep the weight off so that all your efforts weren't in
vain? that's one of the things I'm concerned about...
was it worth it?
can you maintain the work that was done without constant exercise?

thanks in advance

Karrie
