Re: embarrassing request
I didn't ask for that, but asked the hosptial staff when I went in for a tummy tuck. They responded that they sent me a "coupon" in the mail for one, but since I didn't have my coupon, they couldn't give me a tummy tuck. I think your request is normal and I'm sure your doctor has heard it before. I'm not sure if they can do that or not, but it doesn't hurt to ask!!!

Re: embarrassing request
If you have any prolapse issues the doc can do that. My doc is doing it to me and I'm actually a lil worried about having slits and stitches all up in my junk, he said "relax, some women pay big money for this and you're getting it free, consider yourself a virgin again afterward" So to hear you ask it makes what he says seem true lol. Read about it its a anteroposterior colporrhaphy if you want to know the medical terms. Read about it and make sure you really wanna go through that just to be "tighter"

Re: embarrassing request
I have come to realize that there is no embarassing questions on this site. I did not ask to to be "tightened up" it happened after the surgery on its own, not sure how. I would definatley ask the doctor about. I have also learned from this site that the doctors have pretty much heard it all.
Best wishes!

Re: embarrassing request
My doc gave me a modified 'tummy tuck' and also did what I think is called a 'bladder sling'. The 'tightening' happened as a result of my actual surgery. I was not unhappy with my results at all.
While my hysterectomy was almost 5 yrs ago, I have been able to get something of my younger figure back (not as flat as my 20's, but certainly better than before) and find I am in better shape now. Discuss ALL your concerns with your doctor & if she/he doesn't answer them for you, then press for an answer or go to another dr. You should be COMPLETELY satisfied with your dr's competency in both the surgery AND allaying any fears you may have. It is YOUR body, after all is said and done.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing ... we're all in this together!
