Hi! Your tummy looks great! I also gained a a lot with my first pregnancy (shame on me) and had an emergency c-section with my second. My c-section pain did "suck" and I am glad that you noted that the TT was not as bad. I was thinking of scheduling a consult for a TT and BA with Dr. Hlavacek soon. Did you have loose skin/stretch marks before? I am also 115 lbs. and I HATE my stomach. I hope they can cut all of that off!! But I would like to have a really low scar and have a cute little BB! I hope this will be possible. It kind of looks like your incision is low, but hard to tell from your photos. Are you still satisfied with your results?

Hi mak 779, i am very happy with my results even with the development of a seroma. I have also had to have a small revision because of it but is was nothing he did. He is awesome. I would do it all over again i am now 9 weeks post op. I will post a picture today and then tomorrow morning. I still swell through out the day but i guess that goes on for quite sometime. I did have a lot of loose skin and stretchmarks and the loose skin is gone and most of my stretchmarks are too. I think you should go in for at least a consult. :) my opinion is it is well worth it. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. Its kinda nice to see someone going to the same dr. How did you hear about him? Just curious... Are you local? wish you the best of luck!! Keep me updated. :)

Yes, mommyofmy3sons, I am in MO. I found him doing a search for surgeons in the KC area and then I searched for reviews on Real Self. I wish there was more reviews of KC area surgeons on Real Self, but oh well at least yours is helpful. I did e-mail his office for information today. Currently they have a special for free consult, so I am going to at least get the consult with him. As soon as I choose a surgeon I will start a review on here too. I can't wait!

I had developed a seroma that was draining through the middle part of.my incision which made it like a wet scab with tension in that area already allowed for that portion to re-open so he had to go in and pretty much re-close the incision. :)

Ok so I went my wonderful PS he took the PICO dressing off and said healing better seroma almost gone and my incision is healing better in that area but still need to place abother one. So I still have this vaccuum like dressing and little motor box to hide but its small and it will be worth it. :) So Monday I go back to see how its healing. I still am limited activity and cant get my blood pressure raised but that is easier said then done with 3 boys a husband and a dog. lol especially with the terrible 3's!!! I have a new pic will post. I will get incision pics when this thing is removed. :)

Hey there. Just wanted to come by and say hello. It's 4 am here but got up to walk around some and figured I would comment. So far I am feeling pretty well. The only thing is getting out of bed is extremely hard. You almost just have to do it and then the pain will subside. But whew was switching beds hard right after the surgery. Did you have to do that? Was it hard for you too?
