Fleur De Lis TT- 43 4 Kids 2 Were C Sections - Fresno, CA

Well not much has changed, it's been 1 year and 2 months since my surgery and my body has not changed. I have to admit though I have not been able to exercise the way I've wanted to do to my health. The area under my incision on my bikini line is still numb and the itch you can't scratch drives me crazy!! I don't know how long if ever if I will get the feeling back, hopefully I do. Well I will be going back in for revision surgery to correct the scar line (it's still crooked) lift my mons area and since I'm going I'll be having lipo to the flanks, thighs and side boob. That is scheduled for June 23rd and I'm praying I will be happy with these results. I will post before and after pictures after my surgery.

Well I seen my PS on May 16 and he said that a revision will he needed, he agreed that my incision is a bit crooked and the mons area a bit looser then expected, and yes lipo will be needed on my flanks to get the results I want. However I have to wait until I'm a year PO. Just a bit swollen but the more it goes down the flabbier I get. I just avoid looking at myself as much as possible. On the plus side my belly button looks good ( I can actually see it where as before I couldn't because of my flab) my vertical scar is healing well and my horizontal one is doing better at the T. I did end up getting what I thought was an ingrown hair on my horizontal incision but it turned out to be a suture abscess. It was about dime size when I noticed it I put a hot compress on it and squeezed it. Sorry if this is graphic but first white pus came out then clear then a little blood. I cleaned it with antibacterial soap and just kept it clean and continued to put a hot compress on it. I called my PS which is why I went in early to see him instead of the 20th but by then it was almost gone so I guess I cared for it well. Noticed on a Friday and called him immediately, seen him on Monday. My next appointment will be in November and he said at that time he can see what all needs to be done to correct the issues I have and how much more it will cost ( of course he said not nearly what I paid because it's a revision) I guess I should be happy I didn't end up with necrosis had he gone tighter because I am about 3.5 behind schedule for healing and it could have been worse. So I may not update again until then. In the mean time he advises no core exercises yet so I do not rupture anything and still no heavy lifting.

So this morning I woke up to a sharp pain just to the left of my belly button kind of between my flank and belly button. I can still only sleep on my back. I wear my spanx and binder all day and binder only at night. Until this point I had been feeling pretty good even walking a lot more on my treadmill. Last night my husband and I were intimate and I was actually able to get more into it then normal (sorry if this is to graphic) although he did not put pressure on me I did use my pelvic muscles more and he thinks that's why I woke up in pain. I have not called my PS yet. I have taken a Vicodin and still feel the pain. I'm just wondering if anyone else had this too. As for the rest I still have some swelling and for the most part feel good. I am still cautious about lifting. I still get tired if I attempt to do a lot that day. As far as results, well I'm still not happy and think once the swelling goes down its just going to get worse. I see my PS on the 20th so until then I just try not to think about it or look at myself in mirror.
