Re: Possible TAH BSO Wishing for TT too?
Cuddles74 - I realize this is rather late getting to you but I just discovered this thread and post. I don't know if you have made any decisions yet or, indeed, have already had the procedure, but for what it's worth I had both a TAH and a tummy tuck at the same time and I am so glad I did! I'm 3 weeks post op and feeling great. Both my OB surgeon and my plastic surgeon are accustomed to "tag teaming" on this procedure, in fact, my plastic surgeon Often does his tummy tucks in conjunction with other abdominal procedures.
It was so easy to arrange. I had consultations both physicians and their offices worked out the schedule based on my preferences. I went to the plastic surg the day before and got marked up. The OB followed his lower incision mark though not making it the incision as long and the marking indicated. My OB doc did her thing and then the plastics doc scrubbed in and extended the incision and did his work.
Recovery has gone very well and the great thing about having them done together is that psychologically I fell like I'm recovering from the tummy tuck and the hysterectomy is almost an after-thought. The tummy tuck looks great and it's good to know that I won't have to face additional surgery. I needed the hysterectomy. I wanted the tummy tuck. Doing them together was a great decision for me.
