My Tummy Tuck journey (taking it 1 day at a time)

Pray and then decide what you feel is best for you. I can tell you my sister had the same issue with her incision with holes it did heal, but it also opened up a bit more before healing. So just to give a visual it kinda looks like an extra bellybutton below her original belly button. Her dr. agreed to close it, but she would've had to leave the country again for that. She declined and now is going back next year to have it fixed after all is said and done. She thought it would be ok since it healed, but she hates looking like she has two bellybuttons. Thanks for sharing! Good Luck!

Good Luck, just think about the process and I pray for a speedy recovery

Please do not let your PS close you back up! Mine was really bad. I replied to your post on my page by the way. Ask him for the Santyl! My PS wouldn't close me back up in fear that I could open up all over again. It's time consuming to clean my wound and apply the Santyl but it was so worth it! I'm not a PS but I'm telling you from experience. I'm still in the process of healing! Inbox me!!

My body also is in the process of rejecting the sutures. It sucks and it does hurt and is very bothersome at times. I had gone a week or so ago and had a good bit removed. My holes have all pretty much closed up but I have noticed at the bottom, there are 2 more that have surfaced, and just this morning I'm getting that burning feeling at the upper left part of my incision. I'm frustrated that my body just won't behave, why is it so darn stubborn!!! smh... My husband asked me over the weekend if I still feel that this has been worth it? I said absolutely, I'm used to stuff like this happening in my life, so this is just a normal thing for me. I look great in my jeans and shirts, and that had been my goal from the beginning. I am not thrilled with this un-healing part, but then I think about my luck always being crappy, and I just shrug it off. You will heal, your body is just pissed off at you at the moment. I too felt as though I wouldn't get my desired results, but I am getting them. Each day, each week is bringing me closer and closer, your results will eventually get better and better ;) My Dr. advised me against putting anything on my incision, I only covered it with REAL gauze pads to keep it from being irritated by my Spanx. At first when it started opening, I used some of the cream that I put on my drain sites, but after 4 days of it, he told me to stop using it. Like I said, I am all healed up except for the bottom where I am feeling the ones that have surfaced. I will have to call and drive all the way there to have them cut and removed. Thankfully I am still so numb that it shouldn't bother me. Good luck, and be a patient, patient..... :)

Hey, how are you? I hope you're well. Just checking in on you. My wound closed!! :)

Thanks for the preparation tips. Wish I would have gotten a raised toilet seat after my C sections. I have added this to my supply list. I wish you well. Provide an update when you can.
