Hi NIXX, Just before I left the website,I thought Id look at your pics,looking good I must say!!!Revision work has really made a difference!Also I cant wait until I can afford to have a BA!!Fab pics!! xxx

Hi Girls,sorry not replied sooner,just got back from a visit to see family and friends in the uk......didnt win the lottery :O(!lol Sorry to hear your going through the same thing mamaggs,know just how your feeling!Hope the revision goes well for you!Ive come back from the uk with swelling from hell,part IBS,eating junk food and tummy tuck swelling.Had lymphatic drainage massage which was nice but havent been massaging it as well as I usually do because Ive been bedding down at friends.Looking forward to getting back into my healthy regime.Ive finally announced to my partner that Im only 90% happy and explained why,he huffed abit and said why cant I just be content with whats been done.While I was over in the uk ,one morning I showered and stood in front of my partner and showed him everything and how good it could look by pulling it alittle,I kinda think he does understand but on the other hand he loves me as I am,if I do pull it back alittle you can hardly see any stretch marks.My friend over there has had her tummy done and she said hers was very like mine,we both got the tummys out and hers if taunt,so I now know Im not imagining things and the lump under my scar is still there and goes quite far along as my GP checked it for me!Found myself having a cry over there! All that yet I have bought 2 pairs of 26 waist jeans and they fit fine(well maybe not today) lol !So because I see a difference in clothes I just keep telling myself to be patient and that it will get sorted eventually. Nixx ,yeh pm me if you would still like to see pics and i will give you my email address. Take care ladies xxx

Hi There, Well third time lucky with my messages,I was having problems posting them! Anyway lovely to hear from you,so glad you have got it sorted and that your now happy with your results,gives me hope too that something can be done! Im trying to find the right time to speak with my partner,on telling him Im not 100% happy ,as having his support would be nice. I still havent heard from my PS regarding the latest pics I emailed him,which is a concern,also I will go and see him and see what he suggests but I see him in London,office only and I had op done in Paris,so worrying about what costs there maybe.Im not working at present and we only just scraped the money up to have my op done ,although it should have been used for something else my unhappiness was getting too much! Im also concerned that the surgeon I went with was in the uk newspaper afew months after my operation,this was regarding a lump sum he had to pay out for a bodged Boob job 10 years ago,he did the operation,there were problems and he tried to correct it and it was made worse,so although hes a good surgeon and Im happy with my op(apart from the wobble return)Im alittle cautious about letting him do anything to me! Im definately going to go and see him and see what he suggests but Im also wondering if I should see someone else,a surgeon I have read alot about from a uk female website called sofeminine.co.uk and go for a BA consultation and ask if theres anything he can do while Im under ,I also need to rob a bank haha!!In the meantime I will try and stick to my exercising and healthy eating to keep myself focused and not let it get me down too much! Thanks for telling me your story ,I feel positive now that there maybe something that can be done ,which isnt as bad as having another tuck.Ill definately let you know how it goes,although Im not seeing surgeon for afew months yet!:O( I have tried to put pics on here but I cant seem to fatham it out,if you would like to see them ,if you can send me a private message on here I can give you my email address,Im new to this site and not fiding my way very well!! Take care Jo x

Hi There, Wow good for you,so glad you have got it sorted out and that your now happy with the results, and it gives me hope too,Im waiting for the right moment to tell my partner Im not 100% happy with the results,as it would be nice to have his support. I still have had no reply from my PS regarding the latest pics I sent him(showing the wrinkle),which concerns me alittle.The most worrying is ,although I know hes done a pretty good job and hes a good surgeon,afew months after my operation I started going on a female website and there I found a link showing my surgeon in the uk newspaper,he had had to pay a big lump sum for a bodged BA,so makes me alittle nervous of him correcting anything(plus I see him in london,only in an office though,I had op done in Paris,so worried about all the costs it might entail).So I keep thinking to myself ,go for the check-up see what my PS says and then maybe think about seeing someone else regarding a BA and ask them if they could do anything for the tummy while under having BA(oh the things we put ourselves through)I have my heart set on a surgeon I want to go with now after reading alot about him,also I need to rob a bank haha! I keep looking at my tummy and thinking it needs lipo under there,having a mini tuck I have one straight scar I keep thinking if maybe it could be cut upwards at the ends of the scar like a full tuck and lipo done and then stretched it would be great but Im probably wrong!Today while I exercised I took some pictures ,looks great laid down,thats how I want it to look stood up!:O( Ill look out for your pictures,Im going to try and put some on here,new to this website. Ill let you know if I get anything sorted,once again well done on getting yours fixed!! Jo x

Hi There, From reading your post it sounds very much like what Im going through.I had my mini tuck done july 09 and I still continue to swell,mostly on the left side.I couldnt make my appointment to see my surgeon at christmas( 6 months post op),as I live abroad ,I can only get to see him this June and Im going out my mind,he has emailed my querys and said it just sounds like I need lymphatic drainage massage(I havent had any draining done as havent had it confirmed the swelling is seroma).The annoying thing now is,at the beginning everything was very swollen but very taunt and I was thrilled,now the swellings going down ,im seeing theres some 'jelly belly' still there,when I lean over its wrinkly and I feel totally gutted but dont feel I can talk to my partner or friends about it ,as they will just think im being fussy!I have emailed the surgeon my latest pics of this wrinkle horror but he seems to have gone very quiet.I cant understand it,im slim also and have been very careful to eat healthy,drink plenty of water,massage,exercise!19 years I waited for this and Im still unhappy! Did you manage to sort anything out with your tummy?? I would love to hear from you! Regards Jo
