Well its been 8 weeks today and this will be my last update. Everything looks good. I am very happy with the results. I am back to working out and feeling good. however I am still tender and numb in spots and i still itch from time to time.the itching has been the worst part but i survived it . i am on my way down hill from here. i recommend this surgery... my back as you can see looks so much better.my doctor did a good job. Thanks for your great comments. feel free to ask me anything anytime. it was great to share my experience with you as your experiences helped me.

Hi! I just had my surgery on 7/1 and I was wondering if the swelling under your arms that you mentioned went away? I'm dealing with that now and severe itching

What a difference!

Thank you for sharing. Is there a reason the surgery was done in an arch as opposed a straight horizontal cut?

One in aMilli-- I've had this procedure done and mine it straight across my bra line.

@Hopeful421. Yes all of the other photos I've seen the cut is straight horizontal that's why I asked the original poster about her surgery and the arc cut. I am wanting to know if that is the doctor's technique or medical necessity.

I cant believe it's been 6 weeks wow..I am doing so good. Been jogging not lifting anything real heavy yet. Getting back in my routine for exercise. I am still tender in spots and numb in others but basically the pain is so much better.i am laying in my sides with ease and my back looks good..
I have had no pain from the surgery just uncomfortableness so Definitely worth it..

hi ibiaso ,May I know how long it takes for recovery, would one be able to travel and Walk around 3 weeks after surgery. please let me know
April 9, 2018
yes you can walk around fine travelling should be ok as long as you have some cushion o your back cause your just real tender back there and dont lift anything heavy. just be care full. your doctor can tell u more.
