Saw my PS 2 days ago.
Everything is healing nicely.
Front incision is still draining a tad - caused by hair follicles and/or inner stitches.
Swimming not until next year :(
I cancelled my upper body lift on January 26. Mentally, I just don't want to do that surgery yet. I am thinking late February or March.

I was thinking about you and wondered how things are going? Is the next surg in the works? I sure don't feel normal yet do you? Has the swelling in your legs gone down yet? Mine are a lot larger than they used to be. I just read somewhere about the body lift messing up the lymph drainage system. I am thinking that might be true!

Bending over all day doing yard work was NOT a good idea.
I should have stopped when my front incision starting hurting.
But, NO - I wanted to get the work done. dumb-dumb-dumb
I wore a torso shaper and binder ... still caused issues with front incision - It is draining again in 5 places. Not a lot of draining - just enough to keep me from my PS telling me this Tuesday (at appt) that I still can't swim yet :(

Boy what a difference a week makes :)
I can sit at my desk for hours and my legs don't fill with fluids :)
I can do yard work and clean the house without additional swelling - as long as I am wearing compression garment(s) :)

I put new 2" tape on everyday after my shower with silagen lotion on scar. I am still putting gauze on open sores on left side and front. The areas are getting much better. But not healed enough to swim yet. It's a comin' - I can smell the chlorine :)

Looking good!!! Are you getting you belly button pierced?! I want mine redone too! Had it before my surgery and can't wait to have it back. I have quite a few scars around my belly button so waiting to decide if I want a revision on it. Figured I should get that done with before piercing, lol.

I had my belly pierced before ... got jewelry - just no hole :(
Yes, I will have it redone when I'm allowed to.
I am scheduled for surgery on the 26th of Jan. for upper body lift - during that time PS is going to do a revision to my front belly area above public hair. I just don't like how it looks - to much poof, skin and old scar causing issues. So I do understand if you want your belly button re-done.
