Week 6 PO
Was cleared to workout (including weights) so I worked out yesterday and today doing light weights and some cardio to get moving, felt nice but everything was weird with little feeling to the abdomen and not being able to brace my core like I am used to
Not too thrilled with my loose skin on my chest, doubt it will get much better so now I have to debate some sort of skin excision on my chest or possibly just a nipple/areola reduction at the 4-6 month range post op...
Still not sure what's up with the bulging skin I get when I sit down, even in lightly fitting clothing - hoping its just swelling related around my belly button otherwise it almost seems like I did the operation for nothing as that was really the main thing that bothered me was skin/fat rolls over my pantsline when sitting (I do alot of sitting so its impossible to just shrug it off >.>)
Week 4 PO
Lots of emotional ups and downs for me - hard to not take notice of small things that I perceive as possibly being negative..but i'm sure with a few more weeks under my belt i'll get past these humps. It's really the lack of activity that is the worst for me to deal with.
My incision is starting to spit some sutures and has some issues coming up but they seem "normal" per lots of online posts answered by other doctors so I am not worried..just keeping everything clean. My "main" issue is a small opening in the middle of my incision but that is the one my doctor noticed last week during my visit..still letting it heal.
Starting to think I should have lost a bit more weight before doing these procedures..but definitely too late to dwell on that lol.
Week 3 PO
Also was able to get the glue off my belly button, which I think looks fairly odd right now lol but I was so used to my gross skin covered BB so I just need to process everything still :P same goes for my chest - still a lot to digest mentally after 15-16 years of thinking so negatively about it. Do have a slight area of low fat above my left nipple that may need a fat injection but time will tell there, still lots of healing to go!
Oh and my nipple piercings didn't close up after 2+ weeks of having them out so I was able to put them back in lol, fairly happy with that..didn't want them gone after enduring the pain of getting them :P
Provider Review
A wonderful human being and surgeon. I just instantly felt at ease talking to him and he seemed genuinely interested in my story (why I was there to see him) and what I was hoping to get out of surgery. Does not rush you through as if you are a moving piece on an assembly line and I got the feeling that while he knows his worth in terms of what he can charge for his surgeries he is also a compassionate man and would bend for those in need if he felt they deserved the help. His credentials and all the work he does shows flawless results and I believe he gave me the same level of care and thought as all of the patients he show cases on his before and afters. He went so far as to provide his personal cell to me if I need him after hours, etc but I would never bother him unless it was a medical emergency of course :). Just seems to be one of those one in a million that is truly gifted at what he does, loves what he does, and is out to help people be the best possible versions of themselves. I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone. Oh and his staff is just as great (especially Jennifer..she's a real winner..I hope Dr. D keeps her around as long as possible!)
