    myson - I found that wearing the really firm maternity pants with the big elastic belly helped me heaps. You could even wear a maternity belt from the physio which I did cause it kind of felt that I needed to hold myself up IYKWIM. Good luck, oh and keep up the bio oil, especially around the scar, I am so positive that this stuff helped keep away the stretchies because I am extremely prone to them and didn't get any at all. Good luck.

    Aussienic - definately wait, I struggled for a very long time with lifting and still can only just manage a sit up - not that it hurts now or anything, it just doesn't feel right.

    Mum-of-five - The surgeon's practice is on Wickham Tce and his name is David Theile, his wife is the news reader Marie Louise Theile that used to be on ten. He was brilliant. A friend of mine had hers done there too and was stoked with him.
    The surgery took place at the PA. He was so funny, I kept telling him to put my belly button back on straight and he rang my DF when I was in recovery and told him that I would be pleased with my belly button LOL..
    I have seen him about having my boobs done as well and can't wait to go ahead with it.

    do you mind if I ask what sort of costs are involved?

    I emailed one place and right from first visit to last I was told a ball park figure of 10k.. Is that about right?
