10 months since surgery!
Well hello everyone. It has been 10 months since my surgery. I’m am doing great. I had dog ears repaired. My scar is a little thick but that’s to be expected with some of us. I’m sure it will thin out a lil more as time goes by. I still have a pretty big size numb spot which may or may not improve. My naval and drain hole scars keloid kinda but it’s ok. I can hide that under clothes. I like the fact that my cloths fit so much better now. My only problem with dr Donaldson is that apparently he try’s hard as hell not to give u any lipo so I didn’t really get the “best” possible result. That’s frustrating cause I paid him good money to get snatched and he seem to have done the bare minimum. He could’ve at least made it clear to me that lipo would’ve been extra so that I could’ve paid to have my waist/flanks lipoed. So that’s disappointing. Also another thing I didn’t really like was that before surgery he was ok with me emailing him personally and he was excellent with responding quickly but afterwards, he seemed like I should be emailing his assistant n not him or too days to answer me. I’m debating having lipo but that will take sometime. I will update some another time. Pics coming soon! Happy healing ladies.
Sorry it been so long!!
Hey dolls. I'm sorry it's been a while since I updated but life goes back to being hectic after surgery. So I know we are all told that this surgery is such a long healing process and that is so true. Even when you get back to everyday life, don't forget u are still healing. It's been about 3 months and 3 weeks since my surgery. I am doing really good tho. I still deal with some "normal" healing things like sometimes I still swell and I still have the shooting pain from my nerves reconnecting. I'm not really restricted anymore, Im back to my 40 mins of cardio about 5 times a week. I'm cleared to do ab strengthen exercises now, I was told to just listen to my body. When u have a tummy tuck, it does not strengthen your muscles it only pulls them back in their original place,.so my muscles were really weak due to 3 pregnancies. But they are slowly getting stronger. My belly button scar is a little thicker than I expected but I guess I will talk bout this with dr Donaldson on my next appointment. My tummy tuck scar is actually thinning out. I broke out a few weeks ago around my belly button and tt scar,.dont know what that was., so I have a little discoloration but it's getting better. I think I might have a dog ear,.maybe. I'll bring that up as well. I am still numb in that triangular shape area they tell u about. I think I'm still healing as far as that is concerned too because some time I'll get a quick itch but can't relieve it cause I'm numb, lol. It's kinda hard to explain. I guess the itch be internal so I can't really reach it, lol. I'm getting sleepy now so I'll pick up were I left off later and add some recent pictures. Later ladies
It's been awhile.
Hi everyone. I know it's been awhile. I was like let me check in with my ladies cause I didn't like when the reviews stopped after the 1st month or so, lol. Soo,..I'm doing great.,I do have a lil stubborn sore area in my upper abs, doc said it's probably a stubborn stitch that's dealing with tension. It did seem as if it was hurting more but I think that with working out more that, that actually helps. It's usually at the end of the day when I feel this so the doc may be right. I have been cleared to try gentle ab exercises.,I've started with planks (which don't hurt until I do the twisting motion which isn't horrible pain) and sisccors. I don't think I'm ready for crutches or situps yet. I am pretty much back to normal with my cardio tho. I still have no regrets. I feel way more comfortable in my clothes. Other than losing my best friend days before I was well enough to show him my results, everything has been fine. I miss him more than i can explain and would give all this away and take back my big ugly stomach to have him back...but I'm trying so hard to move on. I weighed myself at 3 weeks post op and lost an additional 10 lbs on top of the 10 lbs I lost b4 surgery. I don't have much more to report,..if you ladies have questions tho, ask and I will answer, lol.
Provider Review
I will update this later,.as I heal and get towards my final results. I want to give him the best rating but I'll have to wait as I didn't receive any lipo and I thought I needed a tiny bit to contour my body and he said I didn't need any. We will see. As well as other things...
