Hi sexymimi82, im a philadelphian too, im 9mos po. I also went to a consult at that office but i had a consult with dr gottlieb but i choose anothr ps. Im also not satisfied with the result i got. All tht tingling and pain will subside, i dont feel any pain or strange feelings at all and i can do everything tht i did before the surgery. Im looking to get my stomach flattr bc i also have a pouch in my lowr ab. Sometimes my belly really sticks out there like im pregnant but hang in there bc i those strange sensations will go away, happy healing!

Thank you. What ps did you go to? Any before and after?

I'm sorry for not responding back but I'm just seeing ur post. I went to Dr Franckle in Vorhees, NJ. I don't think that he tightened my fascia tight enough that's why I think that I have a pouch but he tells me that my stomach cant get any flatter that what it is. My before and after pic is posted on my RS page. I post a comment every month on what is going on with me, a couple of times I didn't post any pics only a comment bc my tummy did not change any. I also got a BL in which I am very satisfied with. I don't know why I am not receiving posts, I am always on this site everyday to find out what is going on with everyone else bc I missed other comments too.

Thanks, but right now im still not completely satisfied im progressing slowly not fast enough for almost 3 months. If i could think back in 2007 when i had my first TT i wasnt in much pain as i am right now and my results were amazing. 7 yrs later not so good smh

If it wasn't like that before could it be a seroma (fluid build)? Did he so lipo also?
January 30, 2015
He examined me and said it wasnt seroma and that it didn't look infected. Mt question is why after 9 weeks i started to look prego in 1 week? I'm going back again for some answers

Yes he did also lipo before he performed the tt.
