Checking In
Hello,
Today being 4th of January, I am now officially 20 days after abdominoplasty, recovering at home. The surgery was a success, I had not complications, and my surgeon and Dr.s were all great. Also I has the surgery in the same unit of the hospital in Pisa where I had gastric bypass in May 2007, so many Dr.s and staff new me and were excited for the progress.
My surgeon attempted creating a new belly button for me, however he was working with a herniated musclely belly button mass to begin with, unfortunately I learned two days ago that the new belly button was not working out and that I would heal initially without having a belly button, for me this is ok. I will have touchups in 2 or 3 months from the same surgeon who will at that time create a new smaller belly button. Again I find myself feeling a bit emotional, happiness with the new look and the removal of an area of my stomache that has given me decades of unpleasantness. But also I find myself worrying about the healing of this massive cut across my body. Fortunately I dont have to look at the area, because I have a partner who changes the bandages every day and I also see the medical team 2 times each week at least. It is an amazing surgery that I am grateful for having been given the opportunity to have. I have posted a couple new photo updates in the photo section. This is another reward of this amazing surgery that is changing my life.
Thanks
