HATING ME FOR A DUMB TRANSFORMATION
It has been two weeks since my follow up appointment. Well, I still have my UTI. I followed up with my primary care doctor to find out why it wouldn't go away after two rounds of antibiotics, and I have the answer. I have E Coli bacteria in my urine from the catheter that I received during surgery. I'm getting so worried that this surgery was not for me.
I'm still swollen, Dr.H said it's tissue edema, but I don't think so, I wear two binders and spanks and I'm still not flat. I no longer have seroma, so he says, but I'm not happy with any of my results. I am talking to a shrink, because of my depression, which is worst now that I've been diagnosed with E Coli. I don't know what to do or where to turn, because I don't go back to Dr. H until December. I'm just stressed to the point of no return.

I'm sorry for what you are going through. I am confused about the E. coli diagnosis since that is the most common cause of a UTI. It doesn't make sense that the first round of antibiotics wouldn't have cured that. It should be easily cured with an antibiotic so I hope the one you're on now takes care of it. I would definitely consider getting a second opinion about your results. Hang in there, change is inevitable.

So sorry you feel so bad I really hope the swelling starts to go soon.
All I can say is my swelling didn't go down till at least 5 months and if I did a lot the swelling came back.
I really hope with time yours will as well just don't do to much.time is a great healer.
Hug for you

Ok honey one I need you to snap out of this depressive stage. This is not the time of year to beat yourself up about something you can't fix yourself. First I would seek the care of a medical provider and not a cosmetic surgeon. Let's look into your mental health status and have a couple of blood test done to make sure there is no underlying issues. Then give yourself time to heal both mentally and physically . I have a friend that had some work done some time ago in Birmingham I can find out what Doctor she used and maybe he can help with your cosmetic issue. In addition, Dr Newell out of Houston is good and I have a friend that went to Mexico and got hers done and she looks amazing . Keep your head up, give your body time to adjust to changes everything will workout:
I appreciate your concern, however, I'm already seeing someone about my issues. I follow up on my mental and physical status and at this point you are right. I can't fix myself, but with God and prayer my life will be ok.
Amen
Prayers for you ♡ Please keep us updated on how you're doing ♡
Give yourself time to heal. I can tell you from experience that it's going to take time. Dr Hedden did my mommy makeover too. At about 2 to 3 weeks I started getting depressed and thought what have I done? I couldn't do my job, was coming home crying from pain everyday, I couldn't take care of the house or the kids like I was used to. My swelling was awful. And I learned, the more you do, the more you swell. But, unfortunately, we can't slow down when you have kids. I had a a hiccup or 2 after my MM. Talk to Dr H. He will do what he can to fix whatever it is that you're not happy with once the majority of the swelling goes down. You'll see. Just hang in there girl, you're not alone. The majority of us went through some depression.
So sorry to hear that, I had the procedure done April this year & wasn't 100% happy. I still need lipo & God forbid I bloat lol

Sorry abt your results! Hoping u Hve better days!!
Wishing you the best with your recovery and healing. I am planning to go to the DR for TT, BBL. It's risky but seems just as much of a gamble in the U.S. for more money. Hoping your results get better over time.
It will get better sweetie! My swelling finally started going down after 4 months post op... I am now almost 6 months post op and my swelling is almost complete. Once in awhile if I eat certain foods I'll swell a little, but it goes away really quick. Hang in there love... It only gets better. Your still early on. I will be posting pictures of my 6 months post op next week.
Patience is a virtue! :) happy healing

Did you get muscle repair with your tt?
No ma'am. Just the tummy tuck and lipo in the flank.
Hi, I had my mommy makeover 7 months ago in Tijuana. Don't worry it will go down just keep wearing your surgery garment it helps a lot. I also had a seroma on my lower back and lower abdomen and it took a while for it to go away. Just be patient
Thank u sooooo much. That makes me feel so much better!
Oh, sweetheart, i'm so sorry you're going thru so much! I agree that a massage therapist trained in lymphatic technique (which i know won't be easy to find if you're not in a large city) would help you a lot. And i'd get a few opinions about wearing a good faja with ab board, well padded to protect your skin. Not many US docs ever mention it, but i've seen a few on here say that our body is still maleable for 3 months after lipo. A faja is for both compression and shaping. Don't give up hun, as frustrating as it gets. :)
Thank u. I'm going to get better it was just a bump in the road.

Better to write down how you feel I find it helped. So keep writing how you feel.
When do you go back for another check up. Looks to me as though you haven't had muscle tightened. But it is very early days yet trust me the diffarance between 3-7 months is amazing every month was a big improvement. Hang in there.
Take care Glynis
