My last 2 were way up inside like that. My husband pulled them out and boy did it feel WEIRD but thankfully it didn't hurt. Glad you can wear pants and honestly 4 months out and exercise pants are still my favorite choice :) but then I was never a jeans person anyway. <br /><br />I think it's a great idea to stay off the scale. I know myself about a week after surgery my weight was down but then it went back up to my normal pre-surgery weight and has pretty much stayed there. I think you just have to start looking at things more in terms of your clothes fitting better instead of being focused on the scale. I know I still have to talk to myself about the scale having power over me still. <br /><br />As for revisions you know it's all up to you. I really believe once a few months goes by you'll get to feeling better about it all. Just realize we aren't going to be perfect no matter how much money we spend. It really is about just feeling better in our new less loose skin bodies. The only reason I'll be having a stomach revision is because I had always known I would be having 2 surgeries. The doc talks of a 3rd to revise my thighs but truthfully I doubt I will because even when they say "I won't charge you for the revision" that just means their fee not the other fees associated with the surgery. So bottom line revisions do cost more money. <br /><br />Glad to hear your itching is better too. Like I said if you can lotion up I recommend it. I say load up on a lot of fluids that will help a lot with any swelling you're having and staying elevated and taking it easy. <br /><br />Hope you have a good weekend. Boy I wrote a book lol.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361822126973131737noreply@blogger.com
