To lipo or to no lipo...? That is the question!
So went for a checkup this week and my dr was so pleased with how the hole closed up. Because it had to work extra hard to close up my skin is a bit puckered in that spot. He said he could fix it. I'm not sure I want him to open it back up to do that but we will see how it looks a few months down the road. Maybe it will work itself out! Either way I'm so happy with how my stomach looks!!! So, under my incision line, you know the triangle of skin that my underwear covers.... Well I have a puffy pouch. I feel like I look like a Ken doll.... ???? My PS said he would do lipo as a "revision" for free. Said it would take about an hour and the healing would be pretty quick. I'm all for free lipo and especially getting rid of my ken doll pouch. Any thoughts on why I shouldn't do it? Xoxo Jackie
Fast approaching 120 days post op!
Hi RS sisters,
It's been a while since I last posted. Not much has changed other than "hole" closed up a short wile ago. I'm happy to report the giant scab has just fallen off too!!! The area is now a very dark red/purple color. It will most likely be a scar. But that's ok with my!!! I'm so excited. I have been working out a lot - using my fitbit to track my progress Bd it's so fun! If anything it holds me accountable for what I do in a day!! I still swell towards the end of the day and I still feel very numb all over - my hips and belly button especially. Strange feeling. I will be wearing a very foreign deeds to my brother in laws wedding next month and it's so excreting becAuse my belly roll was so big I would have NEEEEEVEEEEER even considered a slim fit dress!!! I cried when I tried it on and my mom did too. It was a "ahhhhhhh" moment! Much anticipated and a very happy humbled feeling. So many people know what I mean and every one deserves to feel that way. I felt beautiful. I haven't felt pretty or skinny in a very long time. I didn't want to take the dress off. I just kept looking at myself. :) good luck to you all. Hope your surgeries and recoveries are going well! Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Jackie
