I haven't been here in so long that I don't know how to even start. Well, got my first TT on December of 2013, after that I was only once seeing by my Dr.. 8 months later I schedule an appointment because I could see a bulge on my upper stomach when I didn't wear the garment. I use the garment for at least 8 straight month and when I stop using the garment is when my nightmare start. I have a bulge above my belly button. As soon as the Dr see me he knew exactly what it was. His exact words were " you are the second patience in my career that this happen" then he proceded to say that I needed a revision that he would not charge his fees but that I have yo pay the anesthesiology. I was in shock and I cried and cried knowing that I have to go through it all again, I couldn't believed this was happening to me. September 15 of 2014 was the day I have the so call revision. I only saw the Dr that day. Never again they call me to see how I was doing or nothing. Never again I have see or hear about the clinic I went to or the doctor himself. After 5 months I notice I was just about the same I was before the "revision". Almost 3 and a half years later of having the "revision" went to see a doctor and because the bulging is very painful and my belly get very swollen at times. I have to eat small portions and if for some reason I eat a little more I will suffer the consequences later with the pain. 3 and 1/2 years later and I have to have another surgery. My doctor said I have a diactasis recti and a hernia. So I decide not to waste anymore time and already make an appointment to see a doctor. Now the problem is not to have the surgery for the third time is to find a doctor willing to do a second revision. So fingers cross that this plastic surgeon is willing to fix me. I have been depressed lately, going through all this has been difficult. I will keep posting of this unbelievable journey of mine.

I like them too the only thing is that I have to drive about 2 1/2 hours to get it. But I have my sister and my husband giving me a massage daily. It really feel great.
