6 Months Today
Well I thought I would post as it is exactly 6 months ago today I had the surgery.
Its been a very bumpy road. Would I do it again, yes maybe. I wasnt really pleased with my result, its OK but not what I expected, I probably expected too much but then I have just caught my before photos, what a difference, I should have looked at them before!
Yes I am at least one size smaller in trousers/shorts and my clothes look better but I still have a way to go. Dieting is still no good, walking longer and harder is not really doing much either. I havent gained any weight but it wont come off either. So annoying. I am still about 166 lbs but I shall keep trying.
My scar treatment didnt do much so I am now back to using Mepitac tape. I should have my final lazer in a couple of weeks, Ill see. If only everything had gone to plan then my whole scar would look like the sides which you can hardly see.
You will see from the pictures, def better in clothes!!

4 Months Post and So Fed Up
Hello, I will be 4 months post on 3rd and I havent posted for a while because I am so fed up with the swelling. I have always been a chocolate lover and I had been good, lost about 5lbs, didnt even put it on over xmas but the swelling is getting me down and I did go mad for a few days and I put a lb back on .
The thing i it doesn't seem to make any difference whether I eat chocolate or not. My scar area is rock solid due to the wound damage but below the scar and my abdomen are are just huge. My abdomen is massive and hard and lookslike I am 6 months pregnant again, so dissapointing. Before you say its the chocolate, I have now gone 4 days without anything sweet and its still the same and I have read others are going through the same thing. Any ideas anyone?
Those of you that have been following me will know of the necrosis and damage caused by it. This has also bothered me. The scar at the sides is like a razor line and so feint its hardly visible but in the middle of my tummy the scar is terrible, about half an inch wide and mauve and red and so hard. This has not helped with my satisfaction levels either.
I have been using mepitac tape for the scars and I have just run out so I thought I would check the internet to see what else to get anyway I started reading about CO2 laser treatment and decided to give it a go, there is a dr I go to locally for other things and I asked her if she did it and she does. I went to see her yesterday and had the first treatment and I have to say I am amazed already! The skin that is burned directly will fall off and I need to use antibiotic cream for 3 days but already the scar is only half the width! I cant explain it but it seemed to have stitch dots either side of the line and they have gone.
I will have at least 2 treatments but probably 3 will be needed, we will see, but I am so pleased I did it. It has made me feel a bit more positive about everything again. The only trouble is the costings for all this extra work have made my decision to go to Turkey a complete waste I have had to spend £100's more than anticipated for air fares and treatments with still more to go.
Would I recommend this surgery to anyone else I dont think so - not after all I had to go tnrough and still am.
Can someone tell me if there is a light at the end of this long long tunnel?
