Embarrassed to Show my Belly After Being So Excited - Fort Myers, FL

hard to tell whtat dont u see the big scar at the top of the belly button and all around it. click o the pic to make it bigger. and all the stretchmarks?!?!? those stretchmarks are not from about the belly button he should have pulled all the stretchmark free skin down and i wouldnt have a butt hole looking belly button

*above the belly button..not about

those stretch marks are exacally in the same spot before the tuck.....so why did i have it done?? i dont get it....what did he change.... i can tell you he just gave me an ugly belly button and a better c section scar that no body sees anyway

Doesn't matter what my stomach looked like before it didn't have a big obvious scar around the belly button a scar is a scar. And the size of the belly button is much bigger than before. I have since been to a different surgeon and he too wondered why he even made a cut around the belly button when it wasnt moved far he said it should have been "floated" to avoid such an obvious scar. Anyways i have a new surgeon. Plus i was going to get a bbl and rhinoplast which i was quoted a goiod price but when i went to another surgon he said i have a deviaded septum which i do and garramone never pointed that out and also told me i cannot have both procedures done at the same time because to recover u have to sit upright for rhinoplasty but for bbl you have to lay on stomach but he was ok with going ahead with it. When the bandages where removed i wanted to cry. i wasted all that money to still have stretch marks. evry stretch mark is in the same spot as before surgury ive just gained an ugly scar qround belly button and a bigger belly button that looks weird. my c section scar looks better tho but who cares about that its hidden under swimsuit.

I had it done 2 years ago and i am going to get umbilical palsty to fix it

plus i have loose skin still which could have been taken out

I feel for you hun and I can't believe all your stretch marks are still visible as well and in the same place. What did he actually? Also the belly button sounds strange to me also. Is the new PS going to redo the operation for you?

yes I have a new ps i just had it done and am happy with it he pinned the belly button in so that its not like an bulging ball he cant do much with the scar and he is baffled why the surgeon would even have a full circle scar because he didnt move it. I will post pics when the swelling goes down it was 2000 but i feel i sbhould be paid 2000 back from garramone. he didnt do anything but make the csecton scar better by cutting it out but still have all the stretchmarks. who gets a tummy tuck to just fix a csection scar for 6000 its crazy

I agree hun, at least it was only 2000 to do what the other PS should have done in the first place. In the perfect world getting the 2000 back would be amazing but Dr's do not like to admit to their mistakes. Trust me that was the major reason I wanted my TT was to remove a vertical scar from my BB to my Pubic area removed. A Dr perforated my bowel and I nearly died. He never said sorry. ;(

Who is you new PS?

Which doctor did you see to fix Garramone’s disaster? He butchered me, I wish I would have sued him.

I have a great PS he and his staff has been awesome I went to 3 different PS before I made my choice even one that I see on TV all the time....I have been doing research for years and knew what I wanted I did not know any of these doctors before except the one from TV and a 2 of my friends had him ...the office visit was good with all.but when I asked what all was included in there price and looked them up online to see if they had any lawsuits against them I was even more sure who i wanted ....I liked the pictures the doc had with his handy work...I think hedoes even awesome breast surgery and his TT pics were excellent too so I knew right away he was going to be my Doctor...I called right after i.left the office and told his staff he was my Doctor so far so good I am truly happy with him and his work.

I know how ya feel why else did u have done bb? Is that a bbl I am scheduled for salaam in a month...can't wait!!

A BB is my belly button got messed up when he did my TT My scar is high and very wide! Horrible looking-it's been over a yr and it keeps looking worse! So sad ,

Who did yours?

Top PS in CA Don't want to give his name.... I'm trying to get him to do a revision don't want to ruin my chance But he is very very well known------

I'm on the same boat. Just different dr. Have you seen any changes as time has passed? I'm at 13 days post op and already regret going with the surgeon I went with.

Hate to tell u - but it's been 1 year of pain and regret- I feel so stupid to think I would be one out of millions that would b looking good- I had a small muffin top- I wish I would have been happy with a muffintop!

Don't feel stupid. It's not your fault nor mine that we trusted a surgeon that's suppose to be able to fix our problems. I mean really... How could we have possibly known they just pretty much take our money. I'm real upset, like I told my husband "I don't need a degree to know something wasn't right". I'm sorry you are feeling pain. I can't imagine going that long with pain. Have you consulted other drs?
