I'm not OP but considering the same surgery as I have terrible diastis recti and can't do any core work as a result. Also looking more and more bloated as I age due to the separation of the muscles I guess. I think repairing this sooner or later will help with aging because it's terrible on the core. I don't have any loose skin just bad diastis/separation it seems.
Not the person who said the worst recovery ever, but co-sign that thought. I had 3 c-sections. I was walking after 2-3 days regularly, and up and about after 2 weeks practically living a normal life. Doctors always comment on how well I heal.
The tummy tuck totally knocked me out for 6-8 weeks. I extended the amount of time I initially requested to work from home. For the first week I remember a TON of sleeping - just sleeping. Dealing with drains, being basically unable to do much of anything, it was intense.
