5 months PO
WORTH IT$8,500
I cant believe my before photos.....its been a long long road of recovery. Still have a few numb and tender spots. Down about 40, and want to loose 30 more. 95 percent of clothes in closet dont fit. Sure have enjoyed shopping. I workout 5 or 6 days a week really hard and can see so much muscle improvement. You can see definition through my jeans. Enjoying compliments. Just wished I would have done this 10 years ago. Hang in there, healing is a long process.....mental as well as physical.

Tummy Tuck revision
Huge bluge. Side od bb. Painful. Went in today and had tummy numed up, Dr went threw bb and palpated bulge with finger, determined it to be a fat pocket. So we did a lipo procedure and 75 cc of fat were removed. Back in binder for a few weeks and little bit of rest. Also corrected a dog ear flap on scar. Could have been worse. Could have had to had been in hospital for general, glad it was local. Still pretty painful, and sore. 14 weeks now.

Okay, I have the SAME thing!!! My doctor couldn't find anything. He was less concerned. That always bugs me about my doctor - on one hand, you want to feel like, sure everything will be fine because the doctor isn't worried but he worries about NOTHING so I kind of lost trust in him... anyway, I am 3 months post op too, had small bumps under the skin in my tummy and it was hard-ish on the right side of my bb and tender. It seems like it is just nodules of fat, I hope it gets better, today actually was better, so maybe that is a good sign although my wound pain was worse, so it never ends for me! Let me know what your doctor says. I still have major swelling at 3 months and am bigger now that I was a month ago (my doctor doesn't really believe me the extent, he thinks it is just the stitches dissolving now). I had a taste of the flat life and now I am only sort of flat. Anyway, that is a whole different story ;-) So, let me know what he says about your tender spot. I hope you feel better, I know how that is bothersome!
Will do
By the way, you look absolutely fabulous! If you can, open the conversation with your husband. Lots of things could be going on. He could feel threatened by your newfound confidence or could be suffering from ED. Who knows but if this is out of character for him something is going on. A few years ago I seemed to have a boost in my libido. Roles were reversed cause I never wanted much sex and he did. Then as I really wanted more he completely backed off. I was trying to be adventurous and he thought I was a freak. After 30 yrs marriage. Lol. Anyway, he agreed to counselling- for other issues as well and it turned out marriage right around. I just wish I could have kept that high libido! It was wonderful. But not there now! Hormones. Bloody hell! Lol.
Wow. At thirteen weeks you would think things would just keep getting better. I hope all is well. Kind of nerve wracking since it seems to happen fairly often well into recovery. All the best.
I suspect I'll be going back for the same reason.. I'm 25 days PO today so I'm not going to get too upset, but down the road I'm thinking I'll also need a revision :(
