haha no ouch never felt a thing since the area has no feeling just lucky i noticed what was happening and took it out before it came completely through. Prob had it a month before it rejected.

Make sure that they don't get the piercing in your scar. I had mine done after and my body rejected it and pushed it out. I think it was because it came through the scar. But still thinking about trying a again lol..

I feel fine and look fine to everyone else but still have the distended feeling in my upper abdomen especially after eating. The only time it really feels normal is first thing in the morning when i wake up. I think mine is due to the muscle repair he did tightening up my upper part. Feels like its all tied in a bunch in the middle now. Sorry i can't be of any help

This post gives me encouragement as i am now 8 months post-op and still swelling. I only returned to the gymn 3 weeks ago cause even vigorous walking makes me swell. At this point i just decided to ignore it and go anyways. My upper ab sometimes looks like one of those starving kids on tv and is very distended, hard and uncomfortable. Besides exercise i find that prolonged periods of sitting will cause me to swell also so i avoid long road trips. Thanks AGAIN glad to know i am not the only one.
