6 Weeks PO~Bikini Pics


6 Weeks PO ~ Better Every Day

Well, it's hard to believe that 6 weeks ago I was in surgery for a full TT with MR! I am thankful to be where I am today. It's been the slowest process (besides losing weight) but it's taught me patience. I am healing! My belly button has shrunk down considerably! Today I went from gauze and tape to a bandaid! I started wearing silicone strips on my scar last night. I'm anxious to see how they work. I also went and saw a new doctor yesterday;Dr. Sam Huddleston. I really liked him. He said I was healing fine but he's going to continue my care till the belly button is healed. I'm thankful. I'm honestly thinking that I am going to send my out of pocket expenses to my old Dr and ask for reimbursement. Still thinking about that. I've had days here lately that I've woken up flat and remained that way most of the day. I've also had really swollen days to. I'm hoping I see more flat days coming my way. I'm going to the beach next week and I have two new bikinis to show off! Anyway.. To those of you reading this that are new to this journey Hang On! It's not an easy ride but you will get through it. Have patience with your body. It has to heal! It's not overnight. Celebrate small victories along the way. Happy Healing!

A Positive Note.. Finally

So I'm almost 5 weeks PO and things are improving. I've noticed that I'm not as swollen in the morning which is nice. I officially quit wearing my CG and it feels so good! I've still been walking so I don't know if walking or no CG has contributed to the decrease in swelling. I went out on a limb today and ordered a couple of swimsuits for an upcoming beach trip. Normally I would have bought high wasted to try and cover as much gut as possible but today was different. I hope I don't have my hopes up too high. We'll see. There is no change with the BB. I dreamed about it twice last night. Guess I'm thinking about it too much. Happy Healing everyone!

Having been a former patient of this office with a different doctor I knew what to expect with the staff. Extremely nice and helpful. I honestly can't say enough about them. Dr Zickler was very pleasant and fully explained the procedure to me. He answered all of my questions completely and thoroughly. I feel very comfortable with him in doing my surgery. I will add that I wish he had been more forthcoming with is actual date of when the practice was going to close. He always mentioned Labor Day so I thought I had till then. I personally don't think that giving a patient 5 weeks to recover from a tummy tuck is enough time let alone if that patient has any complications. If I had known that the time was going to be cut this close I might have made a different decision. Janet, his nurse, is just unbelievable. The most kindest soul; I truly will miss seeing her. Dr discharged me 4 weeks 1 day from my surgery. No offer to transfer me to another dr. I was given his cell phone number to text him pictures of my BB if I had issues. Wow!!!
