Sorry ladies but I have deleted my photos when I saw them show up in the yahoo and google searches! Everything is still going ok over here though!
30 Days Post Op- Well I am finally starting to see...
30 Days Post Op- Well I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Let me elaberate on what my surgery was. I was schelduled for a full TT with lipo. A week before my surgery, my hernia got very large. It was a hole that was 5" in diameter, or the size of a large grapefruit. My intestines became strangulated and I couldn't poop. So we had to fix the hernia because fixing it with a full TT and lipo was just too much trama for my stomach at one sitting. We decided to go ahead and tighten the muscles and remove the excess skin but I was warned by my surgeon that Umblicalplasty usual doesn't look cosmetically normal and I might not like it but I decided to go ahead and do it that way I wouldn't have to go back and do a TT later and have the hip to hip scar. In the photos I have uploaded, they were taken this morning and I am very swollen. When he pulled everything tight, it made a pocket of fat that you will see in the middle of my stomach which he says he can lipo out in Febuary and it will be flat once again. This has been a hard recovery but it was totally worth it. I am satisfied with my belly button although it is a little wrinkly looken but I am overall happy with everything.
I meant to add that when I went in for my surgery...
I meant to add that when I went in for my surgery I weighed 165. 8 days after from not eating I was 147, which I still am now. That's 18 lbs lost!!! Also finally all of my "plumbing" is working properly. One weird effect that I had from being put to see for 3 hours 10 minutes if heart burn!! OMG!!! I never had heart burn before in my life. Even after eating hot food or while I was preganant but now I DIE with it!! I take zantac twice a day and live for eating Tums but still no relief! Dr. said that it had to be from being put to sleep and hopefully it will resolve over a few months but might be permanant. I never heard of this happenning to anyone else before though but that's the only complaint for now and not being able to exercise. I can do light exercise in 2 more weeks for 9 months before I can do any ab exercise such as sit ups because the whole where my hernia was was so massive. So I'm tired of being flabby, lol!
Provider Review
Dr. Culbertson is the absolute best!! He really cares about your feelings, thoughts and wishes. He will spend as much time talking to you as you like. He spent 3 hours with me on my pre-op alone!!! He has been in business for over 20 years and the staff from when you walk in to everybody you encounter really go above and beyond their duties to make you comfortable. It was worth every penny and more for his work. Would recommend anyone getting plastic OR general surgery to choose him!!
