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.

Happy so far
I am very happy with my results so far. I'm returning to work tomorrow so I hope all goes well. I just don't think I can sit home another day. (Going stir crazy) LOL.

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 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.
