I am 42 years old, with 3 kids, 20,17 and 14. I had a lot of loose skin and had a hysto last year, the dr. Cut me up and down and it left a bad scar. I have done alright after my tt and lipo. The only problem I have had is after he took the drain out at day 10, I started draining out of my bb, a lot, I woke up covered in blood . I went back to see my ps and he said that after he took the drain out I filled up with fluid and it ound it's own escape route, thru my bb. He cultured it and it came back infected, put me on 1500 mg of cipro a day. I found when I took a shower the water was going in thru my bb and when I got out I could push on my stomach and te water would come back out my bb, so had to find a way to bathe with out the water getting in my bb. I'm still sore and still can't stand up straight, but he told me that he made it really tight and it would take a while for me to stand up. I go back and see him Wednesday , so hoping he will let me start doing more. I still have a little drainage coming out of my bb, hope it is nothing major!

It hasn't cleared up yet, thought it was better yesterday, but fooled me, woke up these morning with it oozing again. I go back and see my ps Wednesday , so maybe he can tell me what is going on. I am very satisfied with all the rest and my bb looks good to, but just want stop oozing, it's been 4 and 1/2 weeks now. Thanks to both of you for your kind words, hope you are both doing good also.

Welcome to RealSelf!

Hang on and better days are ahead.  The first couple of weeks are the worst but you will then notice things ease up.  Wow that's crazy about the belly button.  I am glad you figured that out so you could get it under control.  

Keep us up to date on your progress:)

Oh my goodness, been sneezing all day, so sore tonight that I had to take something and not moving a lot! That's what I get for living where there is lot of pollen! First time in a while that I have had to take a muscle relaxer! Hope it's better in the morning!
