Hi all my tt friends. :), well I went and had my scar revision yesterday and what was suppose to be 20 min .... turned out to be 2 hours. .. Now let me say this first of all. It was just wait time.. And I was nervous so I didn't mind laying there on the stretcher imagining the pain. ... wondering what they were going to do. ...no not at all. .. was I ticked off? Oh yes maam I was. Lol when my doc came back in the room and said "I bet you think I forgot about you"!!! I said. ..."you did". Not good for the brain when you know he is going to cut you open. And that's not even all of it. As he was cutting the scar tissue away. It was Ok, but then, ouch. And I felt instant burning pain. More freezing needed! !! Well I'm all finished. ..a bit shaky. ... and glad to be home and recouperating. Then I am done. .. finito!!! Finished with anyone slicing me up... willingly. Ha ha. My spirits have been wonderful. ..I still and will always say I'm so blessed for having this operation, and anyone thinking about it should really. .. really. .. really think about it first. Before making any decisions. I am so excited for summer this year because I won't need bigger clothes to wear. And I am enjoying the new me. Take care my tt sisters. Sending love and joy to each and every one of you.

Well I went for my visit with my ps yesterday. So what I thought was seroma he tells me yesterday is a hernia. Ugh. And If I want I can ask the surgeon who does the repair if they can do it laproscopicoly or do they have to do the incision? I told him gee I dont want any more scars on me. And I go in for a scar revision in a couple weeks. Ugh right in the front. At least it will be over and done with. Other than that work is well and the only thing I can think of is spring and summer will be here before we know it. Happy healing My tt sisters.

Oh how is your sister now? ? I really can wait. But kind of want everything over and done with for my body. I think my next visit I will talk about breast work with him. Maybe he can fix My saggy breasts as well. Of course I wishI would have met him sooner.

When my incision wouldn't close and was infected. Once the scar closed it left pukering. So he is going to fix it. Suprise me 20 min he says. But does that mean just healing out more time off work? ??? Ugh.

Good to read your update. I know that some hernias can be repaired laparoscopically but I suppose that depends on what kind of hernia. I had a hiatus hernia where the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity (causing gastric reflux) and I had it repaired laparoscopically (hence a lot of very short half inch scars on my upper abdomen). I've even heard that surgeons are able to remove kidneys laparoscopically now so you might get lucky and not require another big incision! If you need another large incision your recovery will obviously be longer but it will probably all be worth it in the end! You're going to be as flat as a pancake with no more lumps and bumps. Hang in there and stay positive, tt sister!!!
