Old C-Section Scar Giving Me Troubles but That Just Makes my Tummy Tuck That Much Closer - Gainesville, GA

Thanks!!! The nurses at the PS's office promised not to drop me. Ha, ha.

Yes, those nurses were too busy gossiping instead of paying attention to me. The entire way from recovery to my room (a very long walk) they were just griping about someone, so unprofessional. I should've known when they said I was fine to stand up to get into the bed even though I'd just had an epidural and C-Section, and when I stood up my knees hit the floor. I remember laying in bed the next day w/ the pain pump still in and bawling because I was in so much pain. Since then I've always had problems w/ the scar. The funny thing is I was telling the nurse in the PS's office and she promised they wouldn't drop me. Ha, ha. About 3 years ago I started having all kinds of digestive issues. During a very long process of trying to figure out what was going on I had abdominal xrays, ct scan, ultrasound, and mri. At one point I was told I had a very rare stomach tumor b/c my tummy had blown up so big. It ends up I am allergic to dairy and gluten which was wreaking havoc on my body. My stomach was blown up to the point I had to wear maternity clothes for a year when doctors couldn't figure out what was causing it. What little elasticity was left in my stomach was gone after that ordeal. I'm pretty sure after all those tests if it was truly endometriosis it would've shown up before now. I get what you mean about the gym. I want to feel beautiful and sexy again and find myself checking out all the other ladies w/ tight tone tummies wishing for the same. At least getting rid of this spare tire will give me a huge leap in that direction.

I'm not surprised. With a couple of surgeries I had there was gossiping, complaining and joking around while moving me from place to place. I've had some really bitchy nurses as well, one that even got mad at me because I was gushing blood after my first c section and she was tired of changing me every half hour. I know their jobs are rough but sometimes they forget they are handling a helpless person who is emotionally unstable at the time (especially after birth).

I guess they think we're kind of out of it and don't notice? Ridiculous. Wow! I can't believe she was upset with you. If you're a bitchy nurse you should probably find a new career. We all have bad days but that's awful. I know I was an emotional wreck after my c-section. The cord was wrapped around my daughter's neck 3 times and then around her shoulders. She almost didn't make it and to be taken care of so poorly was really horrible. Fingers crossed I never have to experience anything like that again.
