My balance is going down... - Omaha, NE

7 weeks post op
Sorry ladies, it has been a while. This really has been one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I have ran into some issues/concerns. First my surgeon has discussed with me possibly needing liposuction on my stomach because I look uneven. Look at the picture, and let me know what you think. Also, I want to know everyone's thoughts about Vitamin E oil. I picked some up at Wal Mart which I have started rubbing on at night, but does it actually help? I have read so many mixed reviews.
I was told at the last follow up by a nurse that if I felt brave I could pull out some of the stitches on my own if I noticed any. At first that idea seemed creepy, but I now just want them all out so I have started to pull a few out. My question is shouldn't they be gone by now? I don't know how long they are suppose to stay in, but just yesterday I pulled out a couple more. I am kind of surprised to still be finding stitches. Anyway, that is all I have for now, but I will try to post more soon. I like doing it because I love getting everyone's opinions. This site is such a great resource. I am so happy with my results except for my stomach. Advice/Opinions? How do revisions work? When can I start talking to surgeon seriously about it? I paid so much money I want to be satisfied. The flatter tummy was a major part of the transformation, and I don't feel like I have what I asked for.

You are super swollen. But you have great waist definition and your boobs look really good. I haven't gone to the flat side yet I have looked at lots of pics and you are swollen. Don't give up hope yet. :)

I am so glad he left because it forced you to make that incredibly hard decision. Life will be better when you are lifted from this time. You are now in the process of divorcing a man who would blatantly parade his girlfriend around publicly. That is not a man you want to spend any more time calling your husband. I am proud of you and you will be too :). It has to be very hard to heal when you are under any kind of emotional stress, no doubt thinking if your family and all you've built for 12 years. (12 years here, too). You will look back on is time and be amazd at how life can change and how ,ich happier you can be. You will. You will. Not right now maybe and you have a right to mourn it. But you will. You are so strong and so effing cool. You would never have your daughter or sister or best friend continue on. I am proud of you :). You will be lifted. And best of all, you have lifted yourself :)
You are swollen, girl! Thank goodness it's temporary. Your skin does look smooth and healthy and that's what you will enjoy when it settles down. So glad your boobs are settling and feeling soft so you can feel good about this crazy healing process.

I haven't been on here for a few days but I will add some more pictures hopefully tomorrow. The swelling is going down so much. I have to say-wow! Thank you for such positive comments. This whole divorce process has been the hardest thing I have ever went through and I hate to hear how happy he says he is, but all of your comments are so so much appreciated! Thanks again. I will update soon.
