I Had my Tummy Tuck Revised–-Houston, TX

I'm Happy For you I also cannot believe how brave you are two tummy tucks I couldn't do it. You look great Tess

thank you for the compliments and stay tuned cause i will post more pictures next week......well actually i am gonna try to post pictures weekly until the healing is complete....i just want to let poeple know the long struggle i went thru to get a doctor to fix my issue cause actually most patients that have a tummy tuck dont have to go back to have their sutures removed due to infection i mean it's likely this can happen but not very common at all and it was very stressfull that all these doctors would not listen to me to een try to help me but Dr.L is a blessing and i am forever grateful.

That is great that you were able to get finally get the results you wanted. You look great!

so i am starting to nitice my swelling on my hips is going down and it don't look like i have a bulge of skin still just sitting there as it was in my previous TT. The other thing i did notice is boy do i ever have big hips, i mean i never really noticed how much my hip bones stick out i just realized this when i was feeling the swelling in my hips and i felt my hip bone not too far under the skin which kinda got me alittle upset cause no matter what i think all women have high expectations and i guess i did too cause i was hoping that i would be model ready with completely flat hips but now that i realize that my hip bones are the big issue and once my swelling goes down i'm still gonna have these big ol' hips......kinda depressing.....but on the flip side i wont have any infections in my belly button making me feel dirty and i look like a female in my panties now and for just those two things only 2wks and 4 days post-op i am very please and blessed!!!

ok so today is 3wks post op and i am alittle more swelled at times on my lower ABD but on good days the swelling looks awesome i mean it almost looks as if it's all the way gone even though i know it ain't....the only bad thing now is that i have a lump above my belly button that is kinda hard and alittle sore at times. this lump is hard when i touch it and i am just hoping it is not a pocket of fluid, i have contacted my PS on this issue cause i have over done things alittle since i have felt well but despite feelig good my PS told me to slow down and i could of just pulled my muscle right along that muscle tightening which would cause it to swell and bruise but as long as i am taking it easy and wearing my binder it should go down ..........so once again i am gonna include som pics for my 3wk post-op and if anyone else has had the issue with the lump above their belly button please let me know.

ok so it's 5 wks & 2 days post op and i havent taken anymore pics cause it seems that i am in swell hell apparently......so i thought everything was doing better and i guess it was cause my lump finally went down completely but now my stomach is swollen and it looks like it did at 2wks post op........blahh.......well i guess i can't complain cause i know the end result will be more then i expected and i just need to be patient with the healing process, but it's just hard for me cause i'm very impatient.....HEHEHE.....so i'll update next week and if i look like a model then i'll put the pics up.

ok so honestly i have lost track of what i am soupposed to be doing and if i am not mistaken i am 9wks post op as of tomorrow.....i have just started to go back to college so i can get my business up and running hopefully by the end of the year but it seems like every time my swelliong goes down and i'm feeling SEXY (LOL) i look down at my tummy and its like over kill ...just wham swelling, swelling, swelling.....arghhh i am so ready for the swelling to go down and i also have this one spot on my right hip that keeps giving me hell cause a stitch is trying to come out and it apparently just aint making progress....LOL....well hopefully i will look sexy by x-mas cause we are going to mexico.....whoo hoo....bikini here i come ( well maybe )
