Here is a picture comparing my 1 month post op to 1 year post op. Not much has changed, so you can see why I want/need a revision. Hopefully it will be right after this surgery. 2 1/2 weeks and counting! [RS bleep]... I need to prepare. I have not gotten anything except some Bromelain.

It will be the same doctor. I still have confidence in him.

Good luck! What do you feel about your tattoo now?

I think it looks like a pineapple top. Lol. I will have do a cover up with it. But no idea what I will get.

Nooo. Lol. Just my humble opinion. But you should fade it with laser. I wish you the best

You look great. Sending best wishes for a revision that you will love. Thanks so much for your story. So many of us are not yet at the one year mark and are excited to see the longer term outcome for encouragement. I'm almost 5 months post from my revision. First tuck was May 2014 and the "cosmetic" surgeon decided I did not need the muscle repair. He made the decision during surgery and never mentioned the omission. My stomach was not flat enough and I had a pouch of leftover fat above my mons so I did research and found RealSelf. My revision was in Dec 2014 and I am very pleased with my result. I found the new "board certified plastic" surgeon on RealSelf. I am age 64 and had waited over 30 years to finally have the courage & the money. I have 3 adult children so I was not going to be satisfied without the muscle repair. I have not posted photos or my story as of yet. After 2 major surgeries in the same year at 64, I just think I want to put it all behind me. Those two surgeries were not easy but thank God were without complications ( I'm in great health at 5'5" & 150lbs & exercise regularly). I so appreciate your story along with so many others. I wish you a faster recovery this time. May God be with you.

Well. I am still at 141lbs. I still have my fat pockets. I am still loving my new shape in clothes and not so much naked. I have scheduled my revision surgery for May 6th. I can't wait to actually be completely flat, but I am not looking forward to the recovery process again. I will post a pic on my actual 1 yr anniversary and keep you guys in the loop!
