Day 22
I had my weekly appointment today and it was the second time I had my seroma drained. I brought up concerns about the seroma because I have been reading so much on the Internet about the possibility to have a drain reinserted or even surgery to remove the fluid pocket. Dr. Sumpter was totally reassuring, she said seromas are a fairly common occurrence after a tummy tuck and she has never had to reinsert a drain. She is looking for my fluid level to decrease each time she drains me (which it did) and she thinks I am healing just fine...so that was a relief! I also got my belly button stitches out so I am stitch free! The little scabs around my incision are healing as well so overall it was a good visit. I will try to upload a current pic tonight.

Day 10
Here is a shot of my belly on Day 10. I was concerned about the dark spots near my incision being necrosis but the doctor says they are superficial. It may have to do with the lipo I had on surgery day.

WOW! You look awesome! Sounds like you have a wonderful husband! I have been very blessed with mine as well. I am so ready to be done with this and to the "pain is just a memory" stage. Right now my problem is that my family is so stinkin funny that I laugh so much that may stomach is constantly splitting!
Glad your seroma was an "easy fix" if that's possible!

June--you look fabulous! I too am looking forward to looking back at this experience, but my RS friends are keeping it manageable. :) Hope your seroma stays gone!
