Did the PS do any additional corrective surgery? With everything you had to go thru he should at least offer to have the PS of your choice do any corrective procedures. By the way you look great!!!

Hi, he did a scar revision & 2 navel revision at no cost to me. I really realize now that drains are extremely critical in any cosmetic surgery & will never every consider surgery with a doctor who won't use drains.

My PS said I was still very swollen but my scar should flatten out & heal fine. He also said that my belly button should heal fine it sticks out looks odd.... He said if my belly button & scar didn't heal to my satisfaction he could fix it in the office totally up to me....... I'm thinking oh NO!!!!!

I had a visit with my PS today..... I didn't know how sore my belly button was until he poked me twice... I screamed which I think startled us both & wouldn't allow him to touch it again I held my hand up to block his..... I was mean!!!!! Oh well. I've had a lot of emotional days partly just due to healing woes & others with the up coming holidays & missing my grandma! I don't have any pictures this posting just slow healing. I'll try to post some pics later this week. Oh I almost forgot I had a upper & lower GI Scope done last week & I'm waiting on my biopsy reports all the meds & antibiotics upset my digestive track & may have irritated some old ulcers. I'm feeling better but found out I have a small hernia in my tummy.... Huh hmm... I'm wondering where that came from?

I bet any money that hernia came from your surgeon. My surgeon made me have a scan before surgery so that he could see clearly where everything was and how damaged my muscles were. He showed me the huge separation of my abdominal muscles and said 'this scan is very informative: one slip of the scalpel and your intestines would come out'. This is what a hernia is. I bet your surgeon did it.
