I am 4 months out and this is bad

Im not sure if you are still on this site, but how are things progressed over the last year?

I too am considering a second opinion. I know it's only week 5, but, I was supposed to be put into a full garment, due to the back fat and abdomen. That didn't happen, I asked for it because I was charged $250 for that. I bout some super tisht spanks to get the back fat to go down, but no difference. I had no bruising or pain, so I think he didn't do the back. I am shaped weird in the abdominal region. I feel gross, but can't afford another surgery. My PS said he took about all that he could... I don't think so at all. I am bloated everyday, cannot fit my clothes, I wear my moms Moo Moo! I haven't lost any weight and i'm just not happy at all, I'll continuing to wear the garments, but I am not satisfied. Best of luck to you and thanks for that post about revision. Maybe eventually i'll save up to try again, but I don't think I can take this all over again, we'll see ! :-)

I so hope your revision gives you the results that you SHOULD HAVE HAD the first time. I feel so bad that you had to go thru all of the first recovery and now have to do it again. I agree, your results were disappointing and that should not have happened. Something was not right! Please post to tell us how your recovery with the SECOND TT is progressing. BTW, I am 72 and going to have my 4th TT after the first of the year. Just beginning to explore PS's. You hang in there... you did not have proper results the first time.

#painanditching Are you on your 4th TT because it never took? Or just maintenance? I am not really satisfied with mine, but I will just have to suck it up and get mine redone. I have finally convinced my mother to do the TT procedure. She is a beautiful woman, but like women she is super depressed about her weight. She recently had a knee replacement and it was bad,bad. If she can get some weight off. As for the revision, best of luck, I hope it goes well!! maybe she can heal better physically and emotionally. Good luck

OH, I do hope your mom goes through with it, she won't be sorry. It is wonderful to get your waist back, to not have to choose your clothing according to the 'camouflage' factor. I had my first TT in '86, age 44. It lasted 10 yrs and then I had the 'bloat' look, don't know why. The horrible crepe-y, mushy skin stayed gone of course, but it seemed my muscles just stopped holding. So, had it done again in '97, then two years later, AGAIN. In between there were several minor things done, dog ear revision, off-center BB corrected, etc. All with same PS, who later had many problems, committed suicide. Now my belly is huge again, pants won't stay up, camo clothing, ugh. The worst part is it feels like my internal organs have no support. I dread the recovery, but don't want to spend the last part of my life dealing with this discomfort. I am hoping that methods have been improved in the last 15 years, and that my next one will Stick!

I got her an appointment, think she's convinced. I think it will make her so much happier. I will get her on this site, she can really use some support. You guys are awesome

To be honest, I don't expect perfect results, I expect reasonable results. Dr. Jansen said he did my "back fat". He did not. I had no bruising, pain, nothing in that area. I got a copy of the operation notes, took it to a different PS and discovered that I was never turned over during the operation, in which that would make for being able to reach that area. I went back to Dr Jansen and asked him, he still said he did that area but would do a revision, as I had to heal first. Im like, really, it wasn't done. He brushed that off and said how great my waistline was! He was right about that, my waistline, beautiful. I feel like he lied in my face. When I called to schedule they offered me free "Cool Sculpting" for free. The nurse I think forgot, initially when I first went for a consult, she told me she had it done and did not work. So I told them no, I want the back lipo. They will do it in February next year. I will only have to pay $450, for LOCAL anesthesia and supplies. I forgot to mention, the $250. full garment I paid for, I didn't get after my surgery, it was just a partial that did not cover my back area, Dr. Jansen said he thought it would be to uncomfortable. So they will refund the $250 via, towards the "revision". Im terrified to do it with them as it is very expensive the first go round. However, I am going to another PS to redone the abdomen because it is bulgy. Overall, I still think if it is in your budget, do it. I think there are more honest and professional PS's than lying ones. Best of luck and don't get discouraged, I bet you will love the changes!!

I am still using this website. I had my procedure last Friday and it went well. It seemed like it took a long time for the surgery date to be here and then it was over in no time. It has been almost a week since my surgery and I am feeling a little better. I had a relative come and stay with me. It really helped a lot having someone else coordinate my medications, meals and manage household chores. I had a lot of questions prior to my surgery. I would text myself the questions so I could read them off when I was consulting with him. I asked a lot of questions and I always got an answer. He gave me honest answers and not "happy ending" answers. I am someone who really wanted to know what to expect and what my healing process would be like. I had to be able to schedule the correct amount of time off work and to know what my capabilities would be. I would recommend you start writing down your questions and meet with the PS as many times as it takes for you to feel comfortable. Best of luck to you!

I am 1 week PO, rather than going to Dr Jansen to get a revision, I just had to use my last pennies to 'really' get the back fat done, but also abdominal lipo again, it was very uneven. Again, I am not diluted that I will have a perfect 6 pack going on, I wasn't looking to lose weight, but looking for "contouring". I went see Dr Engeron, had 'everything' done, to get it out the way. Before I had the procedure he drew on me so I knew exactly where he was aiming. I am in unreal pain, which I was prepared for because pain meds make me sick, and itch. So Motrin 800 with nausea meds have been pulling me through. I had my stitches out yesterday, I'm very swollen, but nothing like when Jansen did mine. My only fear is that I am rock solid, I think that is just swelling and hopefully in a few months it will soften and get some feeling back in that area. I am optimistic. Maybe next week I won't look like a train wreck with the bruising, lol. I don't plan to have anymore surgeries. Ready to be comfortable in my own skin. I was initially unhappy, in pain, then 6 months healing, 10000$ later... could have paid off my car. Last but not least... Dr. Engeron in Houma, La, took out 3000cc's compared to the 2200 cc's from Jansen. Don't use Dr Jansen in New Orleans, or his Thibodaux La. Good luck ladies!!

He did. I know of others that need revisions from him. It's awful.

he does NOT offer any solution to a problem that HE MADE his solution is to drop you completely as a client. thats how he solves his problem. hands are wiped clean. his day is coming

I know. I hated telling my husband that it would cost more to get what I should have had in the first place. it's getting worse and worse. He said do what makes me happy...well I was happy at 28 weeks then it just worse and worse. so incredibly frustrated. I was so confident after I had my procedure. Now I am back to covering up again.
