I figured would let you all know things are still not better. I am so beyond frustrated. I ended up feeling really upset about it all and gained the 40 lbs I lost. I can't believe this all happened

Well I am still having issues. I feel a lot of tightness in my upper stomach. I feel like it's always pulling I get tight and still have swelling. I am going to stick with my doctor and hope they can fix this. I am so frustrated by the whole process. I still have no belly button. I wish I never had the abdominoplasty my breasts look amazing but, I think the implants are starting to drop below the breasts.... I don't even know what to say anymore. I just broke up with the doctor I was seeing so I don't have the medical advice anymore about the whole situation so I need to go back and see my surgeon for follow up. I don't know what to say except I am just annoyed and wants honest awnsers and the whole thing fixed!!

I agree with Kimmers. I know you have small children but you owe it to yourself to get at least one more opinion. Maybe a fellow at NYEE can help? It's worth a try. You are worth the try! Don't give up if you feel crummy about your surgery. However if you have made peace with it, then accept yourself as you are. You are beautiful no matter what you decide!

Nichole,
I had a bad experience with my tummy tuck too. I got bad thrush infection in my throat. Of course I was couphing so bad I popped a bunch of stitches. I ended up with a real high scar(over my panty line) and it was tight and thick. It looked like I had 2 waist lines. My belly button was so tiny I couldn't fit a q-tip to clean it out. After 3 years of dealing with little infections it just started getting worse. There was pus and my belly button began to grow a skin over it. I had to tear that skin off every day to let the pus out. I went to see 3 different surgeons and no one wanted to touch me. I HAD TO go back to the original Dr. And he wanted to do the tummy tuck all over again and make a new belly button hole. I finally went to see Dr. Linda Li in Beverly Hills ( after days of my friend begging me to see her Dr. ), and am I glad I did. She works with a lot of burn victims and does a lot of reconstruction surgeries. I had her revise my tummy tuck 4 weeks ago. There was a 100% improvement within the minute I got out of surgery. She didn't redo the tummy tuck. She said that if she did I would end up with a higher scar. So she just opened up mybelly button and removed the old scar and brought the incision down. I have a belly button again! And the scar is thin and bellow my panty line. She's really good, warm, gentle, and loving. She had a reality show called "Dr. 90210" and amazingly she was more affordable than anyone else I went to before. Good luck, I'm so sorry you have gone through all of this. I hope you find the right Dr. If not come see her.
