Had my first consultation and will be going back soon to have a meet up with former patients. Initially wanted just lipo but PS advised that I need to remove excess skin from previous weightloss. Thought I'd start this review already to track my progress from the start!

Had an initial shock at finding out it was going to be a more invasive procedure, but I've come to terms with it and I'm ready for the change!

You will not have any regrets:) Pretty invasive but really not that bad and worth the end result.

Thanks! Your results are FANTASTIC. Such a straight and low scar! Did you have a full TT or a mini?

Also, love that you're a fellow Jillian Michaels fan! Glad to see you were back into it by 6 weeks...

Sort of straight, it goes up one side, well it doesn't really, apparently PS said I have slight curvature of the spine. I think it is how I sit on the sofa, so now trying to sit the opposite way-really uncomfortable. I had a full tt and it was fine, minimal discomfort and healing problem free barring this hic cup of bb but I guess that is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. As for Jillian, yes I got straight back into it but, these past few weeks I haven't felt motivated (naughty I know) I think once we get back into the colder months I will pick it up again. don't like vigorous activity in summer;)

If you want to find any other PS' would highly recommend Mr Platt (based Hull) He is such an approachable man, humourous but extremely professional and totally down to earth xx

I am the exact same! I thought I'd lost all my fitness then today it was cooler and I managed to do my first enjoyable workout in months... What was the issue you had with your bb?
September 23, 2014
It was fine initially, although did take slightly longer to heal than the main incision and these past few weeks ithas gone into overdrive and the scar tissue has tightened so much that it has more or less closed up on the bb. Posted photo of it earlier today in all it's glory; ) Getting a revision done in next couple of weeks.[RS bleep]

So you mean the scar of your repositioned belly button? Was your 'original' belly button was removed totally with the TT?
September 25, 2014
Hi, no it wasn't removed totally, it remained on it's 'stalk' just came up through the tummy skin in a different place. The scar tissue has just decided to go into overdrive. Ho hum, let's see what the revision brings! X

Four days to go...

My surgery is scheduled for this Monday. I'm starting to go round and round in circles, with excitable highs of anticipation and panic about what the hell I'm doing... It's too late for me to back out now, but I can't help doubting myself for no good reason! Did I choose the right surgeon/hospital? Will I get the results I want? Will there be complications leaving me with a disfiguring scar or permanently injured?

I'm sure these are things which go through everyone's heads before the big day. I'd really appreciate some advice from those on the other side! I'll be posting some more before pics in a couple of days. I'm sure my posts will get even more frequent after that.

Two and a half weeks on

Hey everyone. Thought I'd update since I've not done anything since the op. I felt too much of a mess to bother posting any pictures, besides I hardly ever had the CG off. Two weeks on I am happy with how things are looking. My scar goes below all my regular panties, and I'm happy to no longer have to 'tuck' the skin under. I look at myself and I almost can't believe that the skin that once surrounded my belly button is all gone... It seems like so much.

I have horrific swelling on my lower abdomen, which cruelly makes my tummy almost worse than it was before! Thanks to all the reviews of you lovely ladies on here I know that this will pass- just hoping it passes sooner rather than later!

Finally stopped taking my pain meds about a week ago- truth be told I was only taking them for the raging headaches I've been getting- I assume from the anaesthesia. I had a terrible migraine the morning of Christmas day, which was no treat! This seems to have passed now though, so I'm feeling a lot brighter.
