That's supposed to say "hid" with my swell hell lol

I went to see my ps yesterday... I woke up that morning looking as if I was a pregnant woman... My ps said it doesn't feel as if I had seroma but he did mentioned that I looked more swollen than the last time I saw him... He said there has to be something that's behind my muscle wall that's causing it to push against the wall and swell up... He ordered a sonogram to be dive this Monday to find out if there is fluids and the cause of the swelling... I was so swollen that my skin is popping up with more stretchmarrks ... Now u feel like my stomach has the same amount of stretchmarrks as before... I am very depressed

Awwww don't be depressed. It definitely sucks having set backs, I still have many stretch marks left which I'm okay with b/c my stomach doesn't hang or jiggle. Once everything is known, and figured out and they resolve the cause of the swelling you are gonna feel better and look amazing, (you look good with the swelling) positive thoughts and chin up :) everyone's journey during this process is so very different, so just know that by sharing your story, you may help, even just one person to understand this surgery and the weird, unpredictable healing process, but by keeping a positive thought it will also help that same person. You are not alone, you have your RS family to support you. Much luck tomorrow ((hugs))

How did everything go? How are you doing?

I had my sonogram... Luckily no seroma...but they did found very thick muscle wall buildup on my left side ... Ps said it could be because of me being so active and eventually the swelling will go down:..: my swelling has went down quite a bit,... My stomach is getting less pain and am actually able to sleep a little on my sides...thank you so much for your concern my friend!!

That's great that it wasn't a seroma and the swelling going down Yay!!!! Glad that its getting better for you :)

Hi Juju juju, I am so glad for you that there wasn't a seroma or anything else that would have required another surgery. Yayyy, you are on the mend to feeling better. I know your family needs you and you want to be there for them. Continue to feel better and it really is a VERY long recovery. We are all in this recovery process together. Soft hugs and blessings Juju juju.

My ps was suppose to do light lipo to the flanks... But I was never bruised around there not have I seen any lipo holes... Ps did mentioned when I saw him last that in may still be swollen... To wait at least 6 months and he will see if I he need to extend my incision a little or I may need lipo... Frustrated because I paid a lot already for tt... I don't want to pay anymore for lipo and go through surgery agsin... Thank tlu luv for the nice comments always

Hi Juju juju, my ps said that he liposuctioned my flanks when he did the TT. Maybe your ps did the same thing, by going through the front of your tummy and that may be the reason why you don't see a hole. I still think you look great!

Mine also did lipo through where he cut for my TT and I had almost no bruising either, he said some people just don't bruise from "less aggressive" lipo

I agree. :-)))

Thank you for the reassurance... I never thought of that but with what you are saying makes so much sense.... I knew he said he lipo the flanks !

Yep, that's probably what he did. The next time if you see him, ask him. Honestly, Juju juju, you look really sexy. We are our own worst critics, and you really look super sexy. I can tell you are young and your skin looks good. Keep rocking that new tummy! :-)))

I don't see any visual result yet but it made my incision much smoother n softer to touch but made the incision area itchy.... Hopefully it will lighten the incision up... Thank you regarding the bb.. I just feel that it still so dark n little too big..
