Despite needing a revision, your result has been dramatic! Good luck with your revision and recovery. Are you nervous?

I am nervous only because I think he is going to have to lift the skin all the way up again. I don't think the pain was unbearable last time but I didn't have lipo the last time. I am really glad my husband will be home with me the first 5 days. That helps a lot. He is really supportive. I just want to get it over with. ;o)

The 2nd time wasn't so bad. I knew exactly what to expect. He did lift the skin all the way up. He said all the stitches were intact.(I was afraid I had pulled them or something lifting weights.) The muscles were just really big & when they relaxed after 3 months it just pooched back out. It looks really good now. No complaints. If you are strong & lift weights & do pushups, squats etc.... You will have a good recovery. Being strong really helped me move around after the surgery. Just don't sneeze. Ha Ha Ha! That was the really painful part. Ha Ha Ha! Don't worry, you will do great.

Why did I wait so long? My doc wanted me to do it about 6 months after the first one.

I waited to do this because I just wasn't ready yet. I wanted to make sure that there wasn't a lot of internal scar tissue, it is softer now so I hope it will go well. I has been 1 year 7 months since my first TT.

Well, all went well till about month number 4 when the swelling was actually muscles pooching out right in the center of my abd. The PS said it is because my muscles are so big, they relaxed & pooched right out. He is going to do a revision for $1500. I am ok with that. It healed up great but the BB scar is kind of big & so is the low scar. It was so tight at the beginning(as tight as he could make it) so it really pulled & made big scars. So he is going to fix that as well. I went ahead & added lipo to the hips too. Might as well. ($3500 more) I am scheduled for 1/29/14. My pre-op is done & I am all set. I know what to expect & I have my Rx's filled & some dressings ready to go. My husband will be with me for 5 glorious days. Yay me! He is most likely going to place a drain or two but that is how it goes & I want a good outcome so I will not whine. Well, maybe I will a little. Or a lot. We will see. I still have my raised toilet seat & I have an electric recliner now so I am all set. I need to get it over with so I can get back to my exercise routine. I sure love it & I will miss my friends at the gym.
