43 Female 1 Child. Novi, MI

It has been a year since my surgery and l have to say the journey was much longer than l thought. I can do all normal activities but l still have tightness after eating or drinking to much. I do have the doggy ear on one side that needs to be fixed but the thought of going back into surgery just freaks me out and l have no idea how much revision surgery will cost. It's very odd looking and is even obvious through my clothes. I would say I am about 70% pleased with my surgery. I'm hoping to get the doggy ear fixed and look more normal.

I finally had the nurse take off my surgical tape last week. I almost passed out lol. Just not sure the scar is healing right. You be the judge. I'm a little concerned that my right side has puckering and welting right at the bikini line...oh no. Well anyway tomorrow I see my Doctor for the first time since surgery. I'm sure he will put my concerns to rest. My healing process is taking a lot longer than I thought. I'm still experiencing a little pain and discomfort especially at night. I really look forward to working out soon.

I am 3 weeks and 3 days out of surgery. I have still not removed my surgical tape just because I'm sqeamish. I will just let the nurse do it. She is great at that.
I am happy with the results so far. However there is a puckering on my right hip at the end of the incision that concerns me. They said it will settle and go down. I am still wearing the waist binder. It seems like I can not stand up straight without it. When Im not wearing it I swell and become very uncomfortable. I returned to work on thr 10 day out of sugery for a couple of hours a day. Cant wait to get back in the gym.
