Hernia Return (your thoughts)

$6,000
It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I would like for a doctor to tell me does it look like my hernia has returned. My weight has stayed the same everywhere but my stomach area. I would love a revision to cover the ugly TT scar. Some days my stomach is so hard tight and uncomfortable around the navel area with some pain.

After 5 months of no change from smart lipo, I had to find a PS for my TT. Thanks Dr Tang of Cypress Texas for the great work you done on me. I found Dr Tang on this site and went in for a consultation. He was kind of brief but direct with his answers. But before I made up my mind I had more questions and Dr Tang and I communicated through email where he answered all of my questions without hesitation. I had my procedure done May 22 2014. My discomfort was very minimal. I was more sore and stiff than in pain. I had my drain out a week later and all my sutures were removed without pain, and I'm sure that's because I was still numb in those areas. So far my recovery have been nothing like I have read. I was so scared after reading some of the stories from other TT patients. But as of now I am so happy with my results. Thanks Dr . Tang and his staff for being kind, courteous and professional. $6500.00 was well worth the correction you made on me from my previous cosmetic procedures I had done with no results. He even repaired a hernia that i had repaired in august of 2013 by another doctor.

I'm so sorry to read about your first experience. We go in so blind hoping for the best...I'm happy you finally got some satisfaction...happy healing....
Thanks so much. I am elated.
Congrats on finding a new ps and i am seeing the results now. :) I am glad you're happy with the outcome and sorry your other ps misinformed you,very unfortunate and costly. I was wondering about the 4months operating on the same area,did your ps say that was safe? I thought one had to wait 6 months or more. Happy Healing
Thanks for the comment. Sometimes u do have to wait 6 months if you're not healed properly. But it's a case by case basis and u have to be examined first to make sure that you are a candidate for surgery. Lucky for me that I hadn't been cut b4, my hernia repair was done by laser and the smart lipo, only the little incision they make that don't call for sutures. I was fortunate in that way because it didn't cause a lot of downtime trying to heal. But now everything is going well still swollen and a little sore at the top of my abdominal, it may be because I had the hernia repair and muscle tightening in that area and I only feel it at the end of the day. But other than that all is going well. :)
I'm glad you're doing well and everything worked out. Happy Healing
How are you doing lady? So glad to see your happy now! Yay
I'm doing great thanks for asking. I had my TT 6/22/14 still early but couldn't be more pleased. Still have some numbness but other than that all is well. I have started doing 2 miles a day on the treadmill too loose any extra weight I can, because November I think I may have a little lipo on my waist for a little more definition. No lipo was done during my TT so that maybe my next step if needed. But it is still to early to tell, I still have a lot of swelling. And at the end of a work day the swelling is really bad so I will be glad when all that is over. But I am a very pleased woman. Thanks Dr. Tang.
That's great! I was numb from my c-section for over a year and to be honest if I hit the countertop just right it has a weird numb sensation and that was 4 years ago I had my second child, lol

No more drains

Today I had my drain remove the staples and some of the stitches. Was not painful at all. Dr. Tang was very quick and gentle. I was very nervous because of all the comments I have read on removing the drains, but it was totally the opposite for me. So thank God for a painless procedure today. But here are some post op pictures.
