Looking for tips (abdominoplasty)

My surgery is in two weeks and I'm looking for any tips and tricks that can make life easier. All advice is welcome ☺

Talk to your surgeon about belly button placement, where perm./dissolvable stitches will be, and breathing...a lot of people feel they have difficulty standing up straight, breathing, and with pain after surgery

Thank you, I'm working on a list of question and your post is very useful. Can you elaborate on the belly button placement? Is it in regards to it possibly ending up too high/low?

I would ask if your belly button stalk will be moved or changed and if it will be "recreated" by sewing the stalk someplace else. That's what happens in hernia surgery to recreate an "innie"
