Well its week..... something or other LOL.

I had an appointment to see the doc but he called to surgery, so I have to reschedule :(

I am hoping to bring up some of my concerns when I see him. I am hoping that I am just over reacting.

I am just mostly concerned at the moment with the fact of how much skin I can pull and pinch on my mid section, tummy and hips. I am wondering if there is anything that can be done to correct this, as I still would not be caught dead in a bathing suit cause my tummy bulges, sags and rolls in all the wrong places :(

Hopefully its an easy remedy :)

Glad to hear that the "hole" is healing up. I was surprised by your photo as you pinched your stomach and can see the extra skin. Do you think that can get toned eventually? You shouldn't feel bad about bringing it up at all. It's your body and your money and you will have to live with your actions and decision. It never hurts to ask otherwise you're always going to wonder about it. Good luck!

I was also wondering about possibly getting my tummy tuck done with Dr. Kerr.... how did it go on your last visit? Did your swelling in the mid section ever go down?

curious as to what the Dr. said about the swelling /extra skin? I know mine did "relax" a bit  after things calmed down and it took time for the skin to adhere back to the muscle... but I had no fat to reemove or anything like that. ALWAYS bring up a question to your doc. ALWAYS...

So my tummy hole is starting to close up. It does not look half as scary as it once did. LOL. I have also finally got the nerve to upload some photos. I am so worried though. I will be 6 weeks PO on Tuesday. I know I look a million times better then I did. I also know that my PS removed a ton of skin and tightened me close to, if not the most he has ever tightened anyone. But I still look like I have loose skin. I know I have some swelling still, and I know it can take months to go away. But I can still pinch quite a bit of skin between my fingers when I am standing up straight. I can pinch it in both the lower and the upper area of my stomach. I am definately not flat. I worry maybe I should have had an extended tummy tuck or something. My husband also pointed out the the pubic mons area is now saggy, and it was not before. My PS is so darn nice, and he has done such great work, I dont even know how to begin to bring this up to him, or if I do, if I am making a big deal out of nothing, how stupid I will feel afterwards. I am a very shy and quiet person, so this is really difficult for me to address. I am also adding some pics of me pinching the skin, so maybe I can get some opinions on whether I am just worried for nothing, or this is something I need to look into.

I think you should discuss your concerns with your P.S. after all you are not trying to offend him you are trying to get your best results. You deseve that, isn't that what you paid for. I am happy with my results but I dislike my belly button, I sent my P.S a picture and when he did not email me back I called his office. Follow up and revisions if needed are part of what we paid for so don't feel bad.

hi i think you should send him the pics and ask whats his opinion? you paid for it so if you dont like what you seeand it can be fixed, he should honour your wishes, beacsues the job is not finnish. I also think i should be flater but my ps worn me that i had fat under my muscle which was whard to reach, so by losing more weight would melt that fat lol, ive also send me ps pics and awaiting his reply, the good thing about ytou , you wont have to travel by plane to see you ps :). happy healing and keep us updated
