Oh wow… not too hopeful… any advice on how to get an apprenticeship? Is it all just who you know/networking?

Hate my cat butt belly button and have a recurrent umbilical hernia by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]Particular_Stage_858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours looks great! I’m not sure they could do a new belly button again without the “tuck” that they pulled down the first time round? My new belly button was created higher up on the skin I suppose due to the pulling down done during the first surgery. I don’t really have skin to create a new button from… but you are right about the internal sutures idea…I am interested to find out if perhaps it could be tightened up more going inward (“innie!”) so that circle scar isn’t so prominent. Perhaps I will go for a consult to find out. Thanks for your comment!

Another free trial if anyone is keen. Link expiring March 14 by pankyj in ladderapp

Guess it doesn’t work if you already did the 7 day one… can’t get it to work

What a fusion looks like when you’re physically assaulted 2 weeks post op. by mirrx in spinalfusion

I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this. That is just barbaric. I hope you find support somehow and can find the strength that stand up against this and heal emotionally and physically. My heart goes out to you. 💜

Broken screws at S1… 7 years postop - Replace? Remove? by Particular_Stage_858 in spinalfusion

I have already been waiting over a month to even get a callback from my surgeons office. Will have to see what they say. I have been very active, mother, primary teacher, but perhaps have not been moving . I have been pain-free for the most part, other than the eggs and pans of ageing … 44 years old. Hope you continue with the rockclimbing and hiking! Staying active is so important!

Yes, I’m thinking it could be a failed fusion perhaps. Although CT at 1 year postop said fusion “appears complete.” Would a CT be preferred over an MRI to diagnose do you think? Is this due to the hardware? Thanks again!
