8 months Post TT revision/re do
A bit late posting update. Aug 9 was my 8th month post op & photos were taken 8/8.
I completed a series of scar massages at my doctors' med spa. Received 1 free then a series of 6 massages for $295. I scheduled one per week. Purpose was to break up scar tissue. No visible difference in scar appearance to report but the massages felt great. I also signed up for another series of 8 massages via machine called LPG, to address thigh cellulite. Expensive at $95 per session. LPG less costly compared to fat freezing which was quoted as 3k for thighs only. Not sure if either method will work. I will report on the LPG massages next update.
God is so good. Swelling is no longer an issue. Yea! Daily tightness along incision line is still present. Not an issue just there. Bloating some days depending on diet. I think everything I eat & drink shows right away due to limited stomach space. Just my opinion.
My weight remains constant at 150-152. I'm careful with my eating habits but I do cheat. Also took on a part time job in June and not exercising as many days as when fully retired. Working out with trainer one day per week and just paid to continue that for the rest of this year. Trainer says my core is very strong. I'm lifting weights doing squats push ups planks etc. Treadmill for cardio. Not nearly enough cardio but I'm trying.
Not wearing any compression garments and don't feel I need any. Typical muscle soreness after workouts but no real pain anywhere. Still numb below belly button in center down to scar line. Small area of numbness and not an issue. Just feels strange to the touch.
I'll post again in Sept but so far I'm seeing no real changes and thinking this may be close to or at final result. Loving it and trying to maintain.
To God be the glory. Through HIM, all things are possible. BJ

7 months post TT revision
Not much change since my 6 month post. Not much swelling & only slight tightness evenings after a full day. Still numb directly below center of incision but not a problem at all. I'm thinking this is very close to my final one year result and quite pleased over all. It's great having core strength, no flabby over hang & great fitting clothes. Living my dream. Thanks to all my RS friends for all of your great comments and support. I'll continue to post from time to time however I started a part time job so my RS obsession has taken a back seat. My retirement just got too boring after 2 years and three surgeries. Blessings & good day from Calif.
More 6 month photos
Just a few in clothes. Jeans size 30 waist & need belt to stay up. They look tight but waist is not.
Laurie458 & dlflygrl made me feel good enough tonight to post more pics. Jeans finally don't bother incision line. Not one bit of irritation. You will all get to this point of loving your jeans again. Of course the old jeans no longer fit so a shopping trip is in order. Yayyyyy!
Hope everyone is still healing well and may God continue to keep you. Good night & good morning from Cali.

Dr. Hughes is the best. He has the best credentials and does what he says he is going to do. Dr. Hughes was my first in-person consult for the revision and I was so confident & comfortable with him, I booked and paid for my revision that day. I cancelled my other consultations and felt confident that I made the right choice. His office was fairly close and his assistant Olga knows what she is doing and took very good care of me. Dr. Hughes will be my surgeon on any future surgeries (none planned currently).
