I forgot to mention: I have had three kids. The first two were born naturally and I had minimal "hanging apron skin", but after the third who was born via c-section I got a lot more dramatic hanging. I think the c-section scar acts as a sort of cinch and causes the pooch to be more pouchy-ish.

With my c-section I also had an emergency hysterectomy, so I am assuming the pain of a tummy tuck could be similar to that.

Hello,

Can a tummy tuck be done under spinal anesthesia? I've had so much surgery done that I don't want to be put to sleep.

How much pain can I expect after the surgery? Hope much time is spent in the hospital. Does insurance cover it?

Thanks
