35 Yrs Old, Fit, Lost over 100lbs. AZ

I didn't need muscle repair, my loose skin was from weightless. I went through a very draining relationship that cause me to binge and that partner also tried to encourage binging. I went to a Dr and my health was bad, I had a mental awakening, changed my life and got out of the relationship. I had loose skin and got a tt from a Dr. Recommended by 8 people I talked to personally. So I'm deeply sad. He actually retired and left me kind of hanging literally. Kept saying it was swelling. After a little research I feel like my scar needs to revised and I feel there is scar tissue or now seeing your issue, possibly a seroma inside scar tissue! I had a lot of fluid after my drains got taken out and went twice to get it removed. But I felt like it wasn't all out. Yah I'm getting depressed about it. No matter how skinny or fit I have a hard pooch that shows even through my work out pants.
Thanks for messaging me. I feel really alone. I can't get enough Care credit for the surgery. I will have to try and save for it.

first of all; good for you for realizing you deserve better than that relationship and to start focusing on your health! secondly, my first surgeon also kept telling me it was swelling! he did try to remove some of the fluid (we could see the water wave effect when tapping the abdomen). he couldn’t seem to get it all, and my body formed the scar capsule around it. it’s very likely you have something similar. sucks he dropped off like that but you probably would want to go to a new surgeon anyways! I hate you feel so alone, you can message me anytime to chat!

Thank you so much! Yah I'm looking for one in my new area. I moved from that state. I'm nervous because I don't think I can afford to go through it again mental and financial. I also have to keep reminding myself it wasn't my fault either. I was 17% body fat when I got the surgery. Then had dental surgery so I couldnt eat a whole lot for over a year. I only started getting chubby the last 7 months because I started getting more depressed about the pooch and being able to afford it or the thought I can't fix it. But I'm trying to have more hope!

Sorry I haven't been on for a while. I think it's like your situation. I had a few seromas and I still have mild hanging skin. I did not have muscle repair, but I didn't need it. I had several consults and it wasn't something that needed to be done. Was the revision the same recovery as a full tt?
Thank you for writing back!

Thank you!

The new ps seemed a Little surprised I was swelling do that made me nervous. But it's a spot under my belly button and over the incision. Reminds me of the old hang with a tight scar now. He talked about lipo and I felt fat:/ Thanks for reassurance! I haven't been on here for a while. Miss you ladies.

I'm seeing my ps for a follow up for my dog ear revision this Thursday, but I'm having an unrelated issue I'm gonna talk to him about. I'll post a full update on 12/11 for 11mos! I still post, just for the record! I miss all our "regulars", too!
