Much Needed Tummy Tuck - Philadelphia, PA

My belly button scar still looks horrible. And I am still swollen -____- the swelling from my belly button to my scar is constantly and never goes away. I definitely thought my belly would be completely flat I'm starting to think maybe my surgeon needs to perform more lipo in that spot and a revision on my belly button. He keep telling me the scar on my belly button will fade hit it has not faded even a little bit and it's been 5 months. Some days I still get SO swollen also I look 4 months pregnant sometimes

I haven't posted in awhile because really nothing's changed. At first I felt like I was so happy to have my extra skin gone and I am but I'm very unhappy with a few things. The scar around my belly button is outrageous and when I voice my concerns to my doctor he says it'll all clear up within a year but I've never seen any other women's scar as big as mine is around my belly button!! It's so frustrating that I can't wear bathing suits or things showing my belly button I see so many women in swim suits only a few weeks after their tummy tuck and their belly buttons look awesome I'm so discouraged it's really starting to get to me. Also I am swollen constantly idk if this is my final result of what but my stomach is never [RS bleep] flat and that really pisses me off. It's not fat because I've lost weight. Why did I pay so much money to look 3 months pregnant all the time? I still wear my binder around the house because if I don't I look like a balloon about to pop. My surgeon told me if I'm not flat to come back in 6 weeks but I see no improvement. 12 weeks is supposed to be the lucky number and I look exactlyike it did 2 months ago. I really think I'm going to need a revision which is really it irritating. I'm so over this. Can someone please tell me they have been through this and it gets better? :(

I really didn't start feeling normal until 4 weeks. I'm walking pretty much straight but after a long day or if I'm tired or eat a big meal then I walk hunched over still. I have very little pain anymore. It still hurts when I sneeze or cough but not as bad. I've stopped posting pictures on here because I found a profile of someone copying and posting my posts to their page. It's very creepy and makes me feel uncomfortable so I don't think I'm going to post anymore pics. I'm very happy that I finally got the Stitch that was stuck in my belly button out today! I'm so relieved. I can't wait until I can start exercising again only two more weeks!!! I'm still extremely swollen even more so than I was in the first two weeks. My swelling started to get bad around 3 weeks and had been getting worse. I get very paranoid that it's not going to get better and that it's going to be my finally result. My stomach sticks out way more than it did before, my muscles don't feel as tight. When I push it it feels like swelling but idk. And I haven't gained weight at all so idk why my stomach feels so big or why the swelling keeps getting worse rather than better
