Who was your doctor and what was the recovery like?
Dr Roger Oldham in Bethesda.
Recovery was rapid. Day one I took tylenol around the clock, felt fine, and was sore only when getting up from a chair or rolling over in bed. Day 2, no NSAIDs at all, no soreness unless getting up from a chair, getting into my tall SUV, etc.
By Day 5 I had called the MD's office to ask if I could resume cycling with a Spanx-type abdomen garment.
The key is that no muscles are involved in a modified abdominoplasty. Just skin and fat. I do have a hip-to-hip scar from the stitches.
