It's been a week and I'm basically regretting surgery. Dance is a huge part of my life . From teaching Zumba at gym, performing at events, and aeriel hoop pole tricks dancing is my income. I got a tummy tuck to increase my opportunities due to previous costume restrictions. Now I think I just set myself even further back not only is my body not up to par but I can't dance. Please tell me this feeling will go away soon and I'll be back on stage in no time. Summer is such a crucial time for me.
Drains kept in longer than normal Suspected seroma, but ignored by doctor. He wasn't too happy about having to correct the sides of my scars. Now this! Just my luck, right? He was dismissive when asked about my inquiry into this being a possible pseudobursa. That area feels hard, visible under dresses and skirts, unable to hide it with compression garment, let alone sucking my stomach in. Total regret! Please help!
I had a TT done 2 and a half years ago and regret it now. I was only about 8pounds over what I wanted to weigh at that point but I always hated the way my stomach looked so I went forth with the procedure. Biggest mistake ever. Since the TT, I gained 25 pounds and for the life of me, cannot lose it. I workout 5x a week and have been restricting my food intake. I also hate the way my belly button looks. Does having a TT make it harder to lose weight once you have gained?
I had a tummy tuck nearly 13 days ago and I am starting to feel regrets. my Activity is very limited (still not able to walk completely straight), my pubis area is extremely swollen and I seem to look a little deformed with what seems to be asymmetry of The sides after he performed lipo of the franks. I keep hearing to be patient and it ultimately takes months for the final results however I do not see how my body shape is going to change much from now till then. Please advise.
This is a picture of myself on day 15 after my surgery. I'm discouraged and unpleased with my results. So far I look worse than I did before. So much money for no results. I know swelling takes time but I see no improvement at all. I'm starting to regret my surgery.
I'm feeling bummed. The pain was terrible and now its mostly discomfort and tightness of course. My pulse rate has never come down from 120 since I left the hospital on day two. It was 150 post-op, and I got beta blockers. Blood pressure 140/97. Is that because of the pain? Dr. seems OK with it. Have a headache right now I'm just feeling really hopeless and depressed. Pretty mobile. Diarrhea has been every day and all day leaving me dehydrated. Any suggestions?
I have a little hole on my tummy tuck scar and i am so worried. The nurse of my doctor said that maybe my body spit a stitch . She said that i should cleand it with soap and water and use gauze. Is coming out a mixtures of blood and a white stuff. I am so scared . I just regret having a TT.
How many patients actually end up with ongoing issues/complications (such as itching, burning, infections, pain, etc....) after 1 year? Do you find that the patients who end up being disappointed are the ones who did not research and have realistic expectations on how long it would take to heal? Please explain the most common reasons that people say they regret the decision. It seems most people are happy, but I am curious about the ones who are not from a doctors perspective.
