PS Post op issues

May 01, 2009

So, I had my tummy tuck 2-17-09 and did very well...talk about contour on the hips and a FLAT Tummy!!!  N-I-C-E!!!
At approximately 2 weeks post-op, I had a severe reaction to the surgical tape and it ended up causing a burn on my incision line at my pelvic area and some of the skin died.  Also almost lost the new belly button, but I think that we got to it in time.  I was havinga rough time with the drain and go back to the surgeon WEEKLY.  I ended up  having the drain in me for 7 weeks and once it was finally removed, I began to retain fluid and swell to the size of a 5-6 month pregnant woman.  I would go back weekly to have it drained, but nothing would really come out, so now I have another drain in me and it really is not pulling out anything.  UGHHHHHHHH.  I still have a small hole in my belly from the reaction, and that is allowing some of the fluid to come out.  I am suppose to go back in August/September for a revision, but I really dont know if I want to have anymore Plastics done after this experience.  I love my surgeon, he is awesome!  I just have had some major issues that are making it diffficult for me to follow through with my other planned surgeries!
