Sometimes it doesn't close depending on how severe.

After my twins, I went many years trying to get it to close a little more. Eventually after surgery, i feel great. I could tell immediately. I felt much more upright. I think it must have affected my center of gravity


Do you feel any downward pressure? Did you get a mesh put in? Here it might lead to weak pelvic floor and possible incontinence

My friend had surgery to fix hers and a tummy tuck at the same time. She looks great. She's in NYC.

You may have different ones. It’s important to get assessed personally.

I had it after #2. PT helped a little bit, but I ultimately chose to have it fixed surgically.

Are there any local programs/trainers that can help with resolving this? I really want to nip this in the butt.
