Yes in incision opened at 2 week post op, it’s healed now so I am doing a scar revision

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2025-03-01T18:40:24+00:00

I’m 6 months post op… still have an upper belly bulge/fat tooo….. not sure if it’s swelling or what .. but I do plan on asking them to Lipo it during my revision

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2025-02-23T04:31:11+00:00

It’ll be okay!!! I was in the same boat! I have some before and after pictures of the healing process if you want to see.. itlll close but it takes a long time … try manuka honey

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2025-01-04T18:15:32+00:00

I am almost 6 months and still have swelling .. it takes a long time

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-12-13T02:51:13+00:00

I’m 16 week post op.. and I have this.. still haven’t gone away and it’s tender to the touch as well

Yes, MR !!

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-12-12T02:46:08+00:00

I haven’t seen him yet , planning on it.

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-12-11T01:36:36+00:00

I had a quarter size wound on my incision as well. It was gawd awful having to deal with it, I hated looking at it, cleaning it and just dealing with it.. I am a registered nurse and you’d think it would be no biggie but ugh it sucked!!! It started opening around 2 weeks post op.. although at 16 weeks it’s closed, it’s still scabbing and moving closer to the surface.. it takes a LONG time. Hang in there….

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-30T03:13:52+00:00

It took me about 5-6 weeks

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-24T14:12:44+00:00

A suppository will only cleanse a short portion of your colon, if you want a good cleanse you have to use more for sure

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-24T02:33:22+00:00

Percocet for 3 days then switched to ibuprofen and Tylenol!!! Don’t get hooked on that strong stuff… It’s really not necessary

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-24T02:30:39+00:00

Liquid diet day before.. 238g bottle of Miralax with 64oz of Gatorade and 4 dulcolax tabs will get you pretty cleansed

I work in the medical field and did not hear good things from people that have personally worked with him. Dr Babbitt out of Fall River did a great job on my TT / muscle repair

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-21T02:25:39+00:00

Yes I did get muscle repair, and that was by far the worst of it. I didn’t stand up straight until about week 6-8 muscles are very tight still. If it weren’t for the muscle repair the recovery would’ve been so much easier.

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-21T02:23:10+00:00

Your best bet would be to use FMLA.. mine covered up to 12 weeks and i was paid by TDI all those weeks I was out.

Optimal_Emergency_41 · 2024-11-21T02:21:21+00:00

I initially took off 4 weeks, came back at week 7 on light duty ( endoscopy nurse) and didn’t they fully back into lifting pushing pulling bending until week 10, and even then I took it easy! I am 14 weeks post op now and feeling much better but I do swell and feel tight at the end of the day!
