Ladies its been aoat a year since surgery & I could not be happier with my surgery. I still have issues with mu belly button, it retracted in then an abcess formed & got severerly infected, the pain started about month ago, 3 ER visits later & a docotrs visit I'm in the hospital revovering from surgery. I came into the ER & they called in the surgeoms who said I needed surgery asap since I was so sick, they put me under general anesthesia & I had complication from the anesthesia, my lungs spasmed as they were taking
it out so they had to rush & insert another one & give me meds for it, I was still out while this was happening, & I also took longer to wake up, so because of these complications I was put in ICU to recover just in case something else happened. My family is flying in to help withy recovery, I was alone through this whole ordeal since hubby was home with kids, he doesnt like leaving the kids with other people since our youngest has Autism & doesnt speak any words. This is my 2nd day in the hospital & I'm still not feeling 100% I keep coughing up liquid &y throat is in a lot of pain & I cant seem to catch my breath. I feel nauseated & dizzy & light headed I'm on IV antibiotics & fluids since I'm not allowed to eat or drink anything just in case they need to rush me to the OR in casey lungs collapse or any other complication should arise. I wish they had used a spinal block for this surgery instead of genetal anesthesia

I'm doing good other than having to get a revision done on my belly button but more than likely have to do another tummy tuck since i've had 2 surgeries already to try & fix it. Sine I still want to gety breast lift/reduction & lipo of inner thights & arms I'm looking for another surgeon. I'm kinda scared to travel all the way to Yily again.

forgot to mention that my butt is sticking out from the top & if I bend over a little there is crack showing!!! Can someone recommend some good fitting jeans? I've tried Jessica Simpson & Bebe super skinny, Abercombie super skinny, & CK super Skinny jeans to have the most stretch to them, I tried on a size 10 regular boot cut pants & those didnt even go up my hips!!!

Yes, I lost about 22lbs right after surgery. I guess the rest slowly came off as my swelling went down.
