WORTH IT$6,500
I had my revision just over 6 months ago & am thrilled with my results. Saw my surgeon about 2 weeks ago cause I've been experiencing some painful cramping in my core where you could actually see the muscles contract from the spasms, I could compare it to the 1st stages of labor. He said it's regular just my fixed muscles adjusting to my workout routine & just give it time. I've lost 2 more pounds since surgery & been more motivated than ever in pushing myself through workouts to make everything as happy as my belly! I see a lot of people posting is the tight belly still a normal feeling at the end of the day & I'm like that quite often I never worry about it. Feel free to ask questions I'm not shy.

Not much to report overall my results are great. My scar sits kind of high & I have a small dog ear on my left side, but I'm hoping over time with hard work it will diminish. I'm doing the 21 day fix program & Insanity every day to make sure I'm pushing my body as hard as I can & I'm seeing the results I want. I'm not loosing weight I stay between 123 & 127 no matter what, but I'm still loosing inches & toning so I don't worry over it. This whole experience wasn't what I expected so it's put me off to surgery that's for sure, but thankfully I'm happy with my body now that my belly is fixed & have no desire to mess with anything else. Hope someone finds this helpful happy healing & good luck!

Wow! I am having the same issue as you did! I am 3 months PO and VERY unhappy with all the extra skin I have after my TT. Going back to my PS this Thursday to see what he suggests. How much did the revision cost you? I to have dog ears that need fixing. So upset about this and I'm hoping that this can be fixed. You look fabulous!!!!! So I'm hoping he can give me an answer with a better result.

I still incorporate the 21 day fix into my routine, but love Shaun T so he's 3/4 of my workout routine. No big weight loss but several inches have gone away & muscle built with my new string tummy!

6 wks 4 days after revision
I'm doing overall well. I'm on a great workout routine & seeing change, the revision really helped in motivating myself to look at what I wanted in my body & start really trying to get it. My eating is crazy healthy pretty much just shakes & salads with a glass of wine as a treat. My scar had been giving me some issues I had a couple of festered sutures that weren't healing so last night I tried a DIY detox bath & today they are 100% better it seems also my scar sits a bit higher than I'd like, but at this point it is what it is. I like my dr, but no I would not use him again or recommend him.

He charged you for a revision although he's the one who made the mistake the first time around?

Not the revision I had to pay for the surgery center & anesthesia. They're separate from the surgeon.

Oh yes, the third surgeon I went to for a consultation doesn't have his facility to operate. I am glad he did a better job the second time around. You look amazing!

Your doctor did a wonderful revision. A lot of doctors don't seem to take accountability when a revision is needed. It's great to see that some doctors take pride in their work and that in the end he did a great job, but sorry you had to go through 2 surgeries to get satisfactory results. You do look great though:)
