Tuck It In: 6 weeks

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.


June 9, 2008

Six weeks ago, I had my tummy tuck. It seems like longer. Not because it's been a long and difficult road, but because it's been a rather easy one. My days are flying by, like they normally do, and so it seems like ages ago I went under the knife and had my hated post-baby, post-weight loss sagging skin removed.

I know it's only been six weeks, though, because I just had my six-week follow-up visit. My surgeon took one peek at his masterpiece and declared the following: My incision looks great for being only six weeks old, my lingering low-down swelling will definitely go away with time, new clothing should not be purchased for another six weeks (due to swelling and settling), and he'll see me in two months.

I can't possibly fully explain how thrilled I am with my surgery results. My belly is flat. It's tight. It's like nothing it's ever been before.

My surgeon is not just a surgeon. He's an artist. A miracle worker. My hero. Look at what he did. See why I feel so much better now?

NOTE: Abdominoplasty is recommended for those whose skin and muscle cannot recover on their own as a result of significant weight loss, pregnancy, aging, heredity, or prior surgery. It is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. For more information about this surgery, click here.

I cheated, I ran

Posted: May 31st 2008 12:00PM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: Fitness

I cheated this morning. I ran. I ran two whole days earlier than I should have. Now I may be obsessed at times about exercise, but I'm also a by-the-books kind of girl so breaking my doctor's six-week exercise restriction rule isn't exactly in my nature.

I just couldn't wait any longer. I cracked. I crumbled. I broke under the pressure I felt to get back out there and move my legs like I did so long ago. So I threw on my running gear, strapped on my MP3 player, and conquered a 2.5-mile run. It felt great. I mean, it was hard -- my legs hurt and my breathing was more labored than usual -- but it was great. The best part: My tummy-tucked belly didn't hurt or pull or strain at all. Six weeks, just like my doctor said. It takes six week to fully recover from such a major surgery. Yep, it does. Give or take a day. Or two.

Tuck It In: Wrap up

May 6, 2008

Thirteen days down and a lifetime to go with this new flat tummy of mine. Yep, it's flat. And tight. And with the exception of some swelling that is driving me bonkers -- more about that here -- I am thrilled beyond thrilled with my new mid-section. My decision to go through with a tummy tuck surgery was in fact the right one.

So let's wrap things up with this Tuck It In series. The last time I wrote, I was right out of surgery, recovering at home in my recliner, bandaged and compressed, with two drains and a pain pump sprouting from my belly. I was walking in hunched-over fashion and popping pain pills, antibiotics, probiotics, and a muscle relaxer as prescribed. Now, almost two weeks later, I am out of the recliner and walking upright. The drains and pain pump are gone, all drugs are out of my system, and I'm wearing only my compression wrap to hold me firm and shape this new shape of mine. I'm driving, walking two miles at a time, and counting down the weeks until I can run -- four more to go.

Talking tummy tuck with kids

Posted: May 5th 2008 8:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: General Health, Women's Health, Healthy Kids

I'm a fan of honesty when it comes to my kids and teaching them about life. Not brutal honesty -- they're only seven and nearly five -- but gentle and age-appropriate honesty. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, saying I had cancer wouldn't mean much to a then-three-year-old and 18-month old. So I explained that I had a "boo-boo" in my "boobie," that a doctor would take it out, that I'd take medicine and my hair would fall out, that I'd be sick for a little while. They understood. And that's exactly how it all happened. We didn't talk about worst-case scenarios. If ever one comes up, we'll discuss it then.

I was also honest with my guys about the tummy tuck I had 12 days ago. I didn't use the word "tummy tuck" and I didn't introduce the term "plastic surgery." But I did tell them I would have an operation on my belly to fix some skin, a muscle, and a hernia. I told them the truth: Mommy's skin stretched a lot when she was pregnant, her muscle separated, and she has a hernia just like Danny had a hernia when he was three years old. Danny had an operation. And mommy will have an operation -- for the hernia and the other things too. My boys understood what would happen, that I'd be resting for a few days, that Daddy and Nana would be taking them to and from school, that I couldn't lift them or race around in the back yard for a short time. By the time I had my tummy tuck, the whole event was somewhat of an non issue. And now I'm better. And they've moved on.

Experts say not being up front with kids about major life events opens up the possibility that little minds will concoct their own versions of what's going on. Since these interpretations are often worse than reality, they say honestly is the best policy. I do too.

Tuck It In: Mission complete

April 25, 2008

I'm alive, well, and doing fine following my long-awaited tummy tuck surgery. Besides one fainting episode in the recovery room yesterday, it was an uneventful experience. I like uneventful when it comes to surgery.

It took 90 minutes for my surgeon to remove loose skin, repair my baby-stretched abdominal muscle, and fix an umbilical hernia. It took two hours for me to come out of my general anesthesia fog and regain my ability to walk -- which right now, is a bit difficult.

Jacki's tummy has been tucked!

Today was the day for my great friend and fellow blogger, Jacki Donaldson, to have her tummy tuck. Jacki is a beautiful woman, wonderful mother, amazing friend and brilliant writer. Since she lives in my neighborhood, attends the gym I work out at, and used to be one of my personal training clients as she was recovering from chemotherapy....I've seen Jacki literally work her ass off. Not only is she aggressive at the gym, she's done a complete 360 with her eating habits. To say I've been impressed would be the understatement of the year.

Jacki had two big babies and has done everything she could possibly do to create a fit body. She's lost a ton of weight but has been left with a bit of extra skin around the mid-section which has really been point of frustration for her. An emotional burden. She's no better of a person now that her tummy tuck is complete; she couldn't be any more perfect. She is however, going to be a girl who no longer has the anxiety that goes along with as she puts it, "tucking in" her tummy.

I have a cold, so I won't be running the two blocks over to check out Jacki's new abs. Sick germs don't belong at a house with a post-op patient. But when I'm better....I promise to go check out her final product and give you the scoop. Most importantly being.....Jacki is recovering fine, hopefully in little pain.

Tummy tuck makes the top 5

Posted: Apr 21st 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: Emotional Health, Fitness, Health in the Media, Women's Health, Diet and Weight Loss, Cellulite

I'm headed for a tummy tuck on Wednesday. And so I'm all eyes and ears when I come across something about this surgery, also known as abdominoplasty. I've been absorbing all kinds of insight from women who've had the procedure. And I've been reading every tummy tuck tidbit I can get my hands on. Like this nod given to the tummy tuck by Oprah.com.

It's a pretty hopeful bit I came across. I'm just not sure it's entirely accurate. First, the tummy tuck -- one of the top five plastic surgeries, says this source -- is positioned as a method for getting the perfect bikini body. I wouldn't actually recommend it for this. Well, maybe if all diet and exercise has failed to produce results and it just happens to be swimsuit season when you go under the knife, then this might be advisable. It's kind of my own personal situation actually, except I'm not prepping for a bikini; I'm just trying to feel good in my clothing, and my skin.

Second, this article reports: "There is a marginal scar that is like one-half the size of Cesarean-section scar, there is minimal downtime, it looks good right away." The scar: I think it's more like three times the size. The downtime: At least two weeks initially and a whole six weeks for total healing. The results: Yes, I hear the change is apparent right away.

Tuck It In: Seven days

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

April 16, 2008

One week from today. Seven days. Tummy tuck day. It's on my mind all the time -- when I wake up in the morning, when I run my few morning miles, when I play with my little boys, when I put my clothes on and take them off, when I look in the mirror, when I go to bed at night. My pending surgery is all-consuming. So is my tummy.

My stomach has bothered me for seven years, ever since my first big baby boy came screaming into the world, ever since that 50 pounds I gained to support his massive weight -- 10 pounds, nine ounces -- melted into saggy skin. It got worse with the second monster boy -- 10 pounds, two ounces -- and then worse again after I lost weight this past year. Don't get my wrong. I love that I was able to carry big babies. I love that I lost the weight that excess food and cancer treatment left on my body. But I don't love my tummy. I don't want to be consumed by it anymore.

Tuck It In: The final countdown

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

April 3, 2008

On Tuesday, I went for my tummy tuck pre-op appointment. It went well. I got to ask all of my questions, got see some patient before and after photos, got to pose for my own "before" photo, got a fistful of surgery instructions, and got a few prescriptions to fill prior to surgery. I also got to pay my money. Three times, I got to pay my money -- once for my surgeon, once for his surgery center, and once for anesthesia. I'm all paid up. I'm all set. I'm ready for the big day: April 23.

It's official. I've decided to take the plunge and remove the sagging skin from my belly. My finishing touch, I'm calling it -- read more about my tummy tuck motivation here. The rest of my body is primed. My year-long diet/fitness overhaul has fueled me in all the right ways and has helped me achieve an ideal weight. Once the loose stuff stuck to my mid-section is gone, everything should be in tip-top shape. My mission then will be to maintain my final product as I continue my quest for good health.

Let the final countdown commence.

Tuck It In: The power of people

Posted: Mar 30th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

March 30, 2008

I knew when I first starting dreaming of a tummy tuck that I'd need to talk with several people who had already received the procedure. I can't go into anything blindly. I need information, opinions, real-world stories. As soon as I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was scouring the Internet for journals and blogs -- anything that would allow me to peek into the lives of women who did battle with this disease before me. It's no different now. If you've had a tummy tuck, I want to hear about it.

My plastic surgeon's coordinator, a tummy tuck graduate herself, gave me the names and numbers of two former patients. I talked with them yesterday. The offered me some pretty good stuff.

Both said right off the bat that they'd have the surgery again, it's that spectacular and life-changing. There were no complications for these women, one of them 50 years old; the other older than 50. Both are a year out now, wearing pants that actually fit their bodies and not just their tummies. Both overwhelmingly recommended the surgery, despite the few drawbacks.

My new tummy tuck friends both said the first week post-surgery is very tough. There will be pain, they said, and it will be hard to get up and down. One recommended a raised potty seat -- I'm in luck: I have access to one. One of the women advised me to stay ahead of the pain by taking meds before it gets too bad. The other said she only took a pill -- a ¼ of a pill really -- when the pain was too much to take.

Drains, in place for about one week after surgery to allow for drainage of excess fluid, will be cumbersome, say these gals. Since they need to be emptied every three or four hours, it can be quite a task. Sleeping in a recliner was recommended for the first few days. Laughing, coughing, and sneezing will apparently be a chore. Help is a necessity, at least for the first night or two. And I'm likely to be fully functioning after just two weeks. Both of these women were back to full-time work within two weeks.

What these women shared with me is so very valuable. No doctor could have prepared me like those who've been in the trenches. There's just something about the power of people -- people who've been there -- to help prepare us for the journeys we take in life.

Tuck It In: Death by anesthesia

Posted: Mar 29th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: Emotional Health, Fitness, Food and Nutrition, Diet and Weight Loss

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

March 29, 2008

Florida high school senior Stephanie Kuleba just died after a fatal reaction to general anesthesia during breast augmentation surgery. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) appears to be the cause. It's a genetic metabolic condition triggered by some inhaled anesthetics and the depolarizing muscle relaxant Succinylcholine.

For a short time, before I dug into the nitty gritty of this condition, I couldn't help but worry that I'd die from this very same problem should I submit to the general anesthesia required for a tummy tuck surgery. My mom was worried too. We both feel better now -- now that it seems not very likely this will be issue for me.

I've had several uneventful surgeries involving general anesthesia in my life, which predicts I am mostly not at risk for MH. It's not for certain. It would just be pretty surprising if it did happen. I'm also not all that young -- young adults and children are most at risk -- and I plan to add this subject to my pre-op question list so I can make sure I don't receive the anesthetics that trigger this life-threatening illness.

There is always something to worry about when it comes to surgery -- any surgery -- which makes it clear I still have some thinking to do.

Tuck It In: What I don't know

March 21, 2008

I'm a sucker for reality TV. Usually, I get nothing more out of it than mindless entertainment. But the other day, while watching VH1's Celebrity Rehab, I heard something I've been thinking about for a few days now. It made a lot of sense to me, in the context of my tummy tuck saga, and so I'm using it to help guide my decision-making process. Here's what I heard: Don't worry about what you don't know. Just focus on what you do know.

There are many unknowns about this tummy tuck business. I don't know how I'll do under general anesthesia. I don't know how much pain I'll feel when I wake up. I don't know how long it will take me to bounce back after this major surgery. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

There are a few things I do know. I know I've found a skilled surgeon with a great personality – a rare find for me in the doctor world – and I know exactly how this guy will perform my tummy tuck. I know the risk factors. I know the limitations I'll face. I know how to alter my schedule to accommodate this surgery. Most of all, I know I want this surgery. I know it will make me feel more comfortable, more confident, and more successful as I continue to fine-tune my body on the inside and out.

I guess I've got all I need to know. What I don't know, I'll just try not to worry about.

Tuck It In: Q & A

Posted: Mar 20th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: Emotional Health, Fitness, Food and Nutrition, Diet and Weight Loss

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

March 20, 2008

I have a lot of doctors. I have a family doctor, an OB/GYN, a dermatologist, an opthamologist, a dentist, a breast surgeon, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, a physical therapist, and now a plastic surgeon -- well, almost. If I decide to make good on my tummy tuck plans, I'll have a plastic surgeon. Which means I'll have one more list of questions to carry around.

I ask a lot of questions of my lot of doctors. When an appointment with any one of them approaches, I start jotting down everything I need to know. When I'm in front of my medical guru, then, I fire away. This method works well for me as I aim to keep myself medically informed.

I'm five weeks from my potential tuck-in date and I've already started the list of questions I plan to ask during my April 1 pre-op visit. My list -- which is already pretty long -- may grow over the next two weeks. For now, though, here's what's on my mind.

  • What pre-op tests will I need? Insurance won't cover cosmetic procedures like this one so I'm concerned about how much this venture will ultimately cost me.

  • Should my heart be tested prior to surgery due to two chemotherapy drugs I've received that can compromise heart function?

  • If complications arise and I need hospitalization -- this procedure is outpatient -- will insurance kick in?

  • What are my chances of developing infections or blood clots? These are two of the major risks with tummy tuck surgery.

  • What is the chance that this surgery will need a re-do? I'm reading on the Make Me Heal message boards about women who go back into surgery for tummy tuck fixes.

  • What type of numbness or nerve issues might I experience?

  • Should I use the inflammation supplement Bromelain for swelling?

  • What kind of compression garment will I need for recovery?

Tuck It In: Worried about waking up

Posted: Mar 18th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: Emotional Health, Fitness, Food and Nutrition, Diet and Weight Loss

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

March 18, 2008

If I go through with my tummy tuck surgery as planned on April 23, I'll be put to sleep with a general anesthesia. There's some risk involved in this sleep business. One such risk is that I'll wake up while my surgeon is still working. Ouch.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists estimates that this wake-up phenomenon affects one in 14,560 patients. They also say it's possible to lower the risk.

A few days before surgery, patients can talk with their anesthesiologist about brain-wave or level-of-consciousness monitors. These record brain activity and alert doctors in cases when more anesthesia is needed. The machines are widely used but controversial because all doctors don't believe in their effectiveness.

As an alternative to brain-wave monitoring, patients should mention any personal or family history of surgery wakening as well as any past or current use of alcohol or drugs. These may affect how anesthesia works.

I should be OK if I choose to go under the knife in April. I have no worrisome surgery history, don't drink, don't use drugs, and am not taking any medications. Still, I think I'll put this wake-up topic on my question list.

Tuck It In: Challenge and support

Posted: Mar 16th 2008 9:00AM by Jacki Donaldson
Filed under: Emotional Health, Fitness, Food and Nutrition, Diet and Weight Loss

Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.

March 16, 2008

Gosh, many thanks to all who have left comments on this Tuck It In feature. I knew going into this journaling venture that I'd be offered both support and criticism. That' exactly what I've gotten. And I'm happy for it all, really. Every word shared is helping me in my search for answers regarding a surgery I want badly and fear intensely.

I want to address a few things that have come up regarding my quest for a tummy tuck. First, I want you to know that I don't suffer from poor body image. Sure there are days when I'm critical of my body when I should instead love it. But it's not body image that drives me toward plastic surgery. It's comfort. I want to feel good in my skin. Right now, I don't. The skin on my tummy is loose. It doesn't allow my pants to fit well. It's uncomfortable when I sit. It's a hindrance when all else with my body is pretty fine-tuned.

For almost one year now, I've been overhauling my diet and transforming my level of fitness for optimum health. A bout with cancer three years ago is my motivation for these lifestyle changes and I must tell you, I'm pretty happy with my results. In fact, I think I've done just about all I can do in these areas and from now on, maintenance is my goal. One stumbling block remains, however. Loose tummy skin.

The skin on my stomach is clearly going nowhere, despite my best diet and exercise achievements. This is why I'm considering surgery. I'm not sick with body image issues. I'm not avoiding hard work. I'm not trying to minimize the importance of health and fitness. I simply desire to trim the skin and fix the damaged muscle that lies underneath so that all my body parts allow me to live comfortably. I have no hidden agenda. And while I've been the happy recipient of counseling in the past, loose skin is not something therapy can fix.

I also want to assure you that this site is no less of a health and fitness site than it was before I began blogging about tummy tucks. If anything, this series is about a last ditch attempt at diet and fitness success. I've done all I can do in these areas. And now I wish to tidy up the mess left behind.

Finally, for those who wish me peace: I promise you, I have peace. It's the exact thing that affords me the quiet moments to reflect on this tummy tuck business.
