I thought I would look really great right now but I am stressed out and very unhappy. Here are my pics where my belly buldges over incision ... Not flat at all

You and I both bad our procedures the same day Feb. 25th. What is your surgeon saying about your tummy not being flat? Did you have muscle repair done?

Sorry I have not updated in awhile but I have not been doing good at all this past 4 to 5 days. Fever, chills, infection, muscle aches. Then to top it all off, a couple days ago my incision came open in a couple areas and fluid is pouring out of it. To the point that I can't even walk to the bathroom without it coming out all over the floor. Very frustrated

Oh no : ( I'm sorry! This can happen to any of us! Nothing you did wrong. It will heal. Give it time and do as your surgeon says and it will heal.

So ladies, since my last post, I have improved a lot. I am sore still and I do still have swelling but the no more bad pain. Each day seems to get better. I did have an issue with my belly button.. Ps said the blood supply was cut off so it is a little nasty right now but should heal ok. Other then that I am doing good. Drains removed yesterday. Boy is that a relief! Overall , very happy so far. I know I am far from final result but I like what I see so far..

I have lost 42 pounds so far and I want to lose another 30 pounds before I schedule my TT & Lipo. But my target date is December 1 because my business will be closed for 2 weeks
