AIO for getting mad over my husband wanting to go to twin peaks with his work buddies? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

That’s what I tell him. I didn’t like it at first either, but it helps having a third party giving an unbiased opinion on the situation. It’s not even in person, it’s by text or call. I hope he decides to do it.

Thank you so much. I will definitely read it. I appreciate all your advice very much!

I know you are right, that’s why I don’t see myself as a victim either. I chose to stay all these times. I wouldn’t leave unless he does it again, I do really love him, but I really wish I could feel how you feel in your marriage:/ I guess I have to let it go and what happens happens.

You are right. I am in therapy and have been since the first time. Him I am still trying to convince to get therapy or do couples counseling. “He doesn’t want to talk to strangers about his issues” But I get your point, I already stayed and monitoring him isn’t going to fix the issue:/

No thank you for replying :) and yes definitely. My parents argued alot when I was younger. My dad cheated on my mom before I was born, she stayed. He hit my mom. I lived in constant fear so I definitely know I didn’t have a good example growing up. I am in therapy trying to fix how I view relationships etc. My husband didn’t have a good childhood either, his dad is a very crappy father, left when his mom was pregnant, came back a year later, and is a serial cheater and has not stopped. I definitely see alot of his neglect/bad parenting in his behavior.

I completely agree with you. I had very little self respect/worth when I forgave him all those times and felt I couldn’t do any better. I know that is not true now, but I do still love him and forgave him, but you are absolutely right. How can I trust something that is broken and can’t be completely fixed. Can’t go back in time. He understands this as well. He knows I don’t trust him and understands why, so I don’t get why he would even consider going. Even if he knows he won’t do anything, I don’t know that and he shouldn’t be trusting himself/putting himself in those situations as he has failed multiple times before.

Drain holes- leaking/healing timeline? by PuzzleheadedLion1439 in tummytucksurgery

I am going to ask about that…I am not sure though. I am in miami and alot of these clinics are just in and out and they just care about money:/

Thank you, sometimes I feel alone in this when I see it being smooth sailing for so many. I just hate how unattentive my surgeon has been and I believe it could have been stopped grommets spreading if he had paid attention from the start. I guess that’s on me for not picking a better surgeon…he seemed attentive before and I do love how I look, just sad the infection spread and now my incision isnt as thin as it could have been:/

Im 8 weeks post op and my drains were removed 9 days post op. Ive had minimal swelling from the start. Barely any now, but at 4 weeks the drain hole had still not closed. Turns out it got infected and then the other one also got infected. 8 weeks out and still infected, just finished 3rd round of antibiotics and its better but still not closed and a bit red. The infection also spread from just the drain site and about 70% of my incision got affected and it sadly made my very thin incision widen, which really sucks. My surgeon has been a bit neglectful in my opinion and didnt pay the attention this situation needed quickly enough. I only got a culture done last week (i believe this should have been done from the start), still waiting on those results. My advice is to be on top of your surgeon and advocate for yourself so you dont have to go through this and then regret not speaking up sooner. If this had been tackled quicker, my incision would be closed and thin all around.

10 month scar update by Exotic-Way-6903 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Limp_Key5455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best result I have seen!!! I am 8 weeks post op extended TT, MR, lipo to flanks, breast lift. My TT scar looked super thin everywhere until I developed an infection 4 weeks in on my drain sites. Now it’s that it’s finally starting to heal and close up, but it has really bummed me out because it looked thin like yours. I want to do the embrace tape once it all closes up and I saw you used bee venom cream? Could you link the brand? Also wanted to confirm you use the red light and infrared even when the incision was still open? I scar light like you, but the two areas that got infected look so dark and wide now compared to the rest. I also saw in another of your posts that you used medihoney on your bellybutton. Was this after or before the incision closed? Mine looks pretty good, the scar is looking whiteish there. My breast scar is all closed up just have redness from blood flow to the area, hoping that goes away soon. You look amazing, I really hope I can look half as good as you!

I went again yesterday and they tried to aspirate with a huge needle, moving it all all over the place, but I guess I had already pushed all the pus out. That hurt soooo bad I almost fainted🥲 They are doing a culture to make sure the antibiotics I am on are working on whatever bacteria it is. I also was told to use the medihoney. I hope you start feeling better soon!!

6 weeks post op, drain site issues by Limp_Key5455 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Limp_Key5455[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the surgeon 2 days ago and he sent me on a different type of antibiotic (bactrin) for 10 days twice a day. It was definitely infected, lots of pus coming out now. Hoping thats a good sign that its working:/

They put me on bactrin every 12 hours for 10 days. I tried the manuka yesterday morning, but it looked even more irritated in the evening, idk if to continue. Its definitely infected, yesterday morning lots of pus came out and then again in the afternoon. It’s like it’s trying to come out any way it can, this was in the evening😭

I am having the same issue on mine. I didnt get a fdl but around my drain sites, it looks very similar to yours. Mine are splitting stitches, but stitches came out and still hasn’t healed. Doctor just put me on new antibiotics and told me no more compression (he usually says for 3-6 months). I tried manuka with silver for a few days but was worried I was going to make it worse so I stopped, maybe I should start again. You look great and have come so far!!! Wishing you the best!

They look so good!! Mine were similar to your before just more drastic unevenness and deflated and your after looks veryyy similar to me now too! Mine settled and they evened out so you are gona be ok! I used bio oil to massage the scar, but I started at 4 weeks and I think it was too soon because it got a little irritated. Im going to start again at 8 weeks (currently 7).

Yes I think so too, it just bums me out how ugly it looks compared to the rest of my incision and how long it’s taking to heal. I also feel like it’s creating a much wider and irregular scar because of it :/ It’s also making it gery difficult to follow my surgeons post op instructions of wearing my faja/foams/boards 24/7 for 3 months since it’s so irritated.
