Update from October 2007
I had a TT with mons lift and BA in Oct 2007. Before that< I had an open wound from the RNY in Aug 2005.
I ended up with necrotic tissue with the TT and an open wound that has finally healed just after my 1 year mark. My body rejects all types and kinds of sutures except for metal ones. I had sutures open a wound on different areas after months of being healed. So at any given time, I had an open wound from Aug 2005 until Oct. 2008!
So here's my update: I am completely healed, my tummy is flat and I wear 2 smaller sizes since the TT. I started at size 14 and now wear size 10.
The swelling from standing, and walking while working stopped around the 10-11 month mark.
I was able to swim on my 10 day cruise my Mother and I took on December 8th this month. I almost cried about it, I haven't been able to swim in the ocean or pool, or be in a hot tub for years.
Thanks to everyone who wrote asking how I was doing and thanks for all the prayers though the years.

Congratulations. And thanks for sharing your progress - I am only about a month out but I have several open areas and I'm finding it really frustrating. I'm glad to know that they eventually heal, and the swelling goes away. Swimming or even taking a hot bath would be so nice....
