Important notice! I offended my PS with my posts

********* Important notice**************************************7/14/2005
Apparently My PS has read my profile and is offended at what I have written. I want to clarify for his benefit. I did not mean to imply that he in any way caused my infection. The groin incision is in a warm moist area, warm moist areas are prone to infection. I HONESTLY never would have thought anyone could construe that to mean I thought the Dr. gave me an infection, especially when it cropped up a couple weeks post op and I had antibiotics for a week immediately post op. Infections can & do happen regardless of the best of surgeons. In my case I am quite sure it had nothing to do with the surgeon, It is just how my body reacted. I am removing all reference to his name as not to cause further offense. I publicly apologize to him if I have caused any undue embarrassment for my writings in my online journal. I also want to add that in our last conversation he requested I add that he "never promised me perfect 17 year old legs," and he "did not cause my excess skin." I did not mean to imply he caused my excess skin, that was all my fault obviously for letting my self get so fat. He stands by his work as being "excellent" and that in his opinion it meets "all standards of care" . I never expected 17 year old legs, but I did expect more improvement than I got. He did such an awesome job on my lower body lift, it exceeds all expectations. It looks so good I was able to pierce my belly button and it looks good. My arm shape is gorgeous, I have thick scars, but again, that is how my body healed. the incisions were closed perfectly, edges perfectly approximated, sutured under the skin. Would I like improvement in the appearance of the scarring? of course I would and have not given up hope on that improvement. In all fairness - all readers will have to judge for themselves. If you really want to see pics, email me and I'll send them out. I do not have before tummy pics but you can see how good it looks after. warning, these pictures show my thighs and breasts in their full glory. Don't look if you will be offended.

I have learned a big lesson from this. I went into it feeling just great, I have never had any problems with any surgery, and was sure this would be as picture perfect. I think my thighs should be redone. I don't know if I have the strength to go thru it again.
