Mini Tummy Tuck - worth it?
I have to decide between a LAVH, or TAH with mini tummy tuck. I'd rather do the LAVH because it seems like a "easier" surgery but would like to get the mtt. What to to?
I'm 42 and need a hysterectomy for adenomyosis, and possible endo. I have cramping most of the month, which fluctuates between feeling like I have my period to feeling like I am in labor for 3 weeks out of the month. I'm 5'2" and weigh 110. My weight is fine, I just have this pooch. My 11 year old son said to me when I was getting dressed the other day, "Mom, you don't look that fat with clothes on." He meant it as a compliment!
So I'm asking the sisters, would you go for a mini tummy tuck if you had to have the TAH or skip the mtt and get a LAVH.
Any thoughts welcome!

Mini Tummy Tuck - worth it?
Me personally..... If you have the choice to get the mini tummy tuck... I would go for it!!!!! If I had not been able to do the TVH that was what I wanted. I too have my little mommy tummy. If I get off my butt and do some crunch's or something it MIGHT go away.
Best of luck to you,
Cristy

Mini Tummy Tuck - worth it?
Chrisy,
Thanks so much for replying to me. I feel like a lunatic for thinking about it but my belly really bothers me and makes me uncomfortable. Still don't know what to do but know if I don't combine the two procedures it will not happen. And some gals seem to report a smaller stomach after the inflamed uterus comes out. Others have the perpetual swelly belly.
How are you doing with your recuperation?
Best,
Stacy

I am fabulous! Thank you for asking. I know how you feel about the belly. Hey, if this is your only shot at getting the TT why not? But it is something you have to decide. If you don't feel 100% about it then don't do it. I would hate for you to have regrets either way you go. I hope you come up with something that works, when you do re post so I know!!! Can you tell I am nosey? LOL
