WORTH IT$8,500
Hello ladies....haven't been able to post in a while, a lot has happened since....i was healing so well, no pain, no discomfort, then all of the sudden my BB started oozing/bleeding, contacted my PS's nurse and sent a photo she said it looks more red than they'd like it to be but nothing to worry about just yet, to go ahead and start using betadine on it couple of times a day and i had an appointment to go see my PS like a week later which was on Friday, well, a major set back for me, some "unhealthy tissues" grew on top of the BB (yellow/white looking stuff) she had to cut them all out and now i have a hole, yes a hole, on top of my BB, anyone going through something similar? I am completely freaking out because i am back to not being able to move, i am not supposed to sweat, i am back to have to put gauze on my BB and worse, i have to stuff the hole with iodoform. Ladies if anyone knows what i am talking about or went through it please please tell me your experience, i am freaking out worried about when it is going to heal, if it is going to heal and how it's going to end up looking.......so depressed.............still in swell hell by the way.....i will put new photo up tomorrow.

Thank you Beje, it just feels like a set back :( How are you feeling? Checked on your page and seems like you are feeling much better which is great!

This happens sometimes. It will heal. The iodoform gauze just keeps the hole from filling up with infectious drainage and allows the tissue to fill in nicely from the "bottom up" so to speak. That scar may be a little darker at first, but in time it will lighten up and you'll be gorgeous!

Thank you airbus for the reassuring words, i sure hope so, sorry to hear about your set back and bad news :( This truly sucks and our situations are similar, i was healing great with no issues what so ever and got really upset one day and started crying so this happened that same day....hope you feel better soon, take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry about your BB. I'm sure it will heal so don't worry. The hole will probably close over. Are you taking antibiotics for the infection you had?
April 18, 2012
Thank you, that's the weird thing though, no infection, so not taking antibiotics, i see my PS on Thursday, keeping my fingers crossed, that whole area is looking weird to me, i am not sure if the photo is showing yet since i know it can take up to 2 days from the time i upload it for it to show, but when you see it, you'll know what i am talking about.
April 18, 2012
Yes, I can see the photo...and it looks pretty red. DO you keep it covered? I put bacitracin on it daily and keep it covered and so far so good. Let us know what your PS says.
April 18, 2012
Yeah i do keep it cover with gauze which i change about 3-4 times a day, the hole i pack with iodofrom packing strips also 3 times a day and before all of that i wipe the whole area with betadine, all as instructed by the PS. I will update tomorrow after my doctor's visit, thanks for your support :)

BB looks like nothing too major I think most people struggle with it, your PS will tell you what to do to get it right. DOnt worry too much!!!!
April 18, 2012
Thank you Beje, i am trying not to worry too much and i have my moments, i think it's because it started off really well, it was healing very nicely with no issues then this happens....should know more tomorrow, how have you been?

Day 10 PO- Slept in bed last night for the first time, i've been sleeping in a recliner since the surgery, last night wasn't the most comfortable but getting there, i am getting around just fine, sometimes i have to remind myself to slow down, healing, thankfully, has been much much easier than i had thought especially after reading some of the other reviews so ladies, have faith, our bodies are different, we heal different, but at the end we will all get there, i already have no regret what so ever regarding having this done, i feel so thankful to my family for pushing me to do it. ?

Good to see you are doing well. Our surgeries were on the same day. I am doing well too. I have one drain left and expect it to come out tomorrow. Take care!

Good to hear that you are doing well! I think mine is not coming off till Monday, my PS requires it drains less than 30 for 2 days in a row before she removes it, i've been draining around 33 for the past couple of days, i think today i am going to be less than 30 but then the weekend is coming so.......wish you best of luck and happy healing! :)

Mommy:
I am so glad you are doing well you deserve it!!! That drain will come out on Monday as big of a pain that they are they do serve a good purpose!!! You will feel like a new woman then!
