Went to see doc. Saw the results (as they are at this point) for the first time. I am containing myself from getting excited till I see myself 3 month down the line. After the dash of hopes the first time around, so scared, though it does indeed look good. My husband said the same.
I know I should take pictures. I have not, as yet.
Doc said I can take head wash now. I do have one drain he dd not remove. He will do so on next Wednesday. Dread the 2 1/2 drive to Chicago though. Hate troubling my husband though he has been SO sweet about everything.
Biggest complaint right now is the itching. I just can't bear it. Doc said to use benedryl cream, but I itch all over. I took a pain pill though I am not in real pain, I do not feel the itching as much when I use that.

Stephen Zucker's mess corrected
I finally got the revision done day before yesterday. Went to Dr. Shifrin in Chicago who conducted a posterior body lift to remove the excess skin on the sides along with liposuction of the back, the tummy and lowered the scar. It does not hurt as much as last time since no muscle repair but am taking one capsule of the pain medication. Will post pictures later.

I've been hesitating about this surgery ... for 10 years. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. I hope your corrective surgery was successful. Thank you for sharing the "bad"...
Congratulations I'm glad you were able to get your original abdomniplasty fixed. I know the feeling of not having the results you paid for and was expecting. Not even video vixen results, just results that we can live with. I'm going for round 3 to get my TT fixed as well. Can't wait to see your correction photos......
I just spent an hour or so reading your entire story so I am so pleased to see that you provided an update-today in fact-to your story. Wishing you an easy recovery and hope that you are thrilled with your final result.
Thank you.

Stephen Zucker's mess to be corrected
I have finally decided in a physician and have a surgery date. Dr. David Shiffrin of Chicago. Of course he is very pleasant to talk to but I will only really judge him AFTER the procedure depending on the outcome, since I know appearances are deceptive. I decided on him completely based on the reviews here WHICH CONTAINED PICTURES!! Ladies, lesson number one. DO NOT trust the reviews without. They MAY and may not be true ones. The ONLY way you can decide on a doctor is either by seeing results in someone you know or by seeing it in a forum like this. I will post pictures later but I look WORSE now with my side bulges. Going to do back lip, a posterior body lift, flank and abdomen lipo. Will cost close close to 10 grand. Dr. David is expensive but I dont think I have a choice. Please wish me luck.
