My abs split when I was pregnant plus I gained and lost 60 lbs. so the skin is loose, so no matter what I do I can't look the way I want to without a full tummy tuck. I already had the boobs done and had complications from infection, then had them done again and still had some complications but I'm happier than I was before. There are a lot of mixed feelings that go along with having plastic surgery done...just take your time and research, then one day you'll get the nerve to make the call to schedule surgery.

How long did it take to lose those 60 lbs? I gained 23 kg (about 46 lbs I guess) and now there´s 10 kg to go...Puddles said:

I was wondering P how you were doing after the redo on the boobages.....they didn't get infected again did they??
RE: the mixed feelings about plastic surgery -- I think that's very true. There are expectations that come along with it & even tho the surgeon tells you what to expect & not, you may still have that back of the mind thought.
If you're considering getting surgery do your research!! Look all over the 'net & find the dr's certs & complaints against him/her -- all on the net.
A good site for research is www.liposite.com. They have discussion boards & before & after pics, etc....regarding all forms of PS. The ladies on the boards are very very nice & everyone has had or will have something done, so feel free to ask any questions....

No, fortunately no infection this time but my body chemistry doesn't agree with disolvable stitches at all, so instead of the stitches disolving in a few weeks, my body rejects them. I started popping stitches a week after surgery and I just had another one come out a week ago, 3 months post op. I'll need some cosmetic touch-ups done or I may just have the lift done one more time using regular stitches when I get the tuck done. This doctor has used regular stitches on me for 2 other procedures and they were absolutely fine. They prefer disolvable stitches because the scars are less visible but in my case this is not longer an option. Then to top it off I also had a reaction to the tape this time (same tape as I used last time so who knows why I had problems) and I have a dime size round scar that will probably need to be treated with lazer. But even with all the BS I've gone through I'm still much happier than I was before surgery.
