Arm wounds update

$8,500
Hey everyone! So my tummy tuck is doing great wounds completely closed. But these arms are a nightmare!! Ugh... so i went to go see Dr. Whiteman for a update. And they said everything looks good and put some more Silver Nitrate on my wounds. An drained 4cc out my arm seroma that feels like theres a golf ball in it... this time i didnt have to pay I was happy. Dr. Whiteman and his staff are nice but Dr. Whiteman is a little off so just an FYI. Lol I think it's becuz of my age he didn't care about professionalism. He came in on his cell phone on Twitter saying how this sexy woman had added him nd showed me a picture of her in her bikini laying down... lol wow i was shocked he did that but I don't care just unexpected. They're nice and fast though I couldn't be more thankful. I go back again in 2 weeks.

Hello, glad everyone is coming together with recovery for you. I have a question if you n assist? You said that you had your sleeve done in DR, who was the dr and how much did he or she charge. I got denied 2 times here in Florida and have been looking into either a TT or lipo. Thanks in advance.

Went to another surgeon

Hey everyone!! So yesterday i made a month post Op yay. Thought i would be in a different position right now. But it's okay... so the last time i went to the ER i was referred a Surgeon here in Georgia. His name is Dr. Whiteman here in Duluth, Ga. I seen him today and he said my wounds look good that he's seen worse. Nd that it's expected for my armpit wound to open. He put some Silver Nitrate on my wounds that were leaking. Nd said I had seroma ( liquid) in my arm so he drained some out it was like 10 grams i seen him take out. He says it will most likely have to be drained again. Ill attach picture below you'll see that big lump it's hard too. Oh nd yes that needle hurt... not as bad tho... he says to come back in 2 weeks. I'm just glad I found a surgeon here that could do something for me. Its such a relief oh nd no he does not take insurance. I paid $50 which wasn't to bad because he actually helped. Unlike the ER you would think they would know something about wounds... for ppl who get a deep cut, shot or ulcers..... side note today i tired moving my bed now my belly feels like i had surgery all over again. Smh I shouldnt have done that.... I have bought Hibiclen wash for wounds and it works great takes the smell away and doesnt hurt.

Day 22

Hey everyone so today I'm feeling alot better. ;) I took out my other drain on the 19th day. Although I do still have some leaking on the side... I put pads actual pads on the side of my hip to absorb the blood and it worked like a charm. Finally today the bleeding has come down all the way and it's coming to an end now I think by tomorrow I'll be done leaking. Right now my doctor has me taking antibiotic. Which I need it because a spot that opened on my tummy tuck was coming out as blood clots.. i could squeeze it out literally. Then after taking the antibiotic 3 pills a day that stopped... Now I'm just worried about getting my wounds to close.. boy this is a process. Smh
