now just getting frustrated...

ask me in 6 months and i may say it was worth it, but ask me today and i would say hell no. i am so frustrated. i have been on hard core antibiotics for 10 days now and the 3 little holes did close up. i went to the doctor yesterday and he said i could start scar cream and so i did and today i have some oozing of blood right above where the (stitch) infection was. i am not afraid because i know my body is reacting to the stitches, but this is ridiculous. now i have another week of antibiotics. i still cant wear panties which means i dont go far from home and i am so tired of sitting and laying around the house. i went to the mall yesterday for awhile (in panties...lol) and then today the oozing starts. uugh...i wanna pull my hair out! anybody else experience this?

Do you have any pictures showing the difference in size of the legs? I'm so sorry you too have had to go through all of this, I know it takes a emotional and financial toll on us...Do you have any plans to have another surgeon take a look and give you another opinion?

I don't have any before pics and Honestly I have to muster up the courage to put after pics on here. I spent alota lot of $ to have this done and all the pain now to have to have it redone. I'm not a happy camper right now. I see him again at the end of the month, and yes I will be getting another opinion before I go thru all this again. My body rejected the stitches, and although WE didn't expect that, I am curious how much he will charge me to rectify this situation. I will let you know more when I find out.

Thanks, you are in my prayers, and I know about the $$$ just so unfair...There must be other types of stiches they can use, right? Keep us posted.

Why do you have to have the thigh lift redone? or just scar revisions?

I have to have it redone because my body rejected the stitches and when all the swelling when away it left my legs saggy. So now he will be doing about a 3" cut down my legs to cut away my saggy fat rolls. Other than that I am happy with everything else. (Arms and TT)

thigh lift update (1 month)

mrs.impatientOctober 4, 2013
Its been a month now and I can see (some) of the swelling going down. But unfortunately I have a infection. I've been doing all the right things, but my body is rejecting the stitches and spitting them back out so that leaves little holes. My doctor says not to worry, gave me Oral and topical Antibiotics and already there is improvement. So I continue this journey and wait...and wait...and wait...I will definitely let you all know if the end result was worth it.

3 week thigh update

mrs.impatientSeptember 27, 2013
ok so it has been 3 weeks since my surgery and I have to say this recovery has been really hard so far. the swelling in my thighs is horrible and causes me a lot of pain. Went for my 3 endermology treatment and it seems to help a little. I have several more treatments scheduled. Started wearing spanx yesterday, but to soon to know how much it will help. Thighs are so swollen they still rub together when i walk. So annoying, but trying to be patient. Please GOD let the final result be worth all this pain and discomfort
