update on thigh lift
Today is a better day.....I went and saw my PS and he was glad I went in. I have abscesses along my incision for both legs. Basically, my body rejected the suture material. He told me it was the worst case he ever saw...yay me! I can't remember if he said spitting the stiches usually happens earlier than this ????
I had a great appt, he was very sweet and felt really bad that I have been dealing with and totally could understand why I was feeling so lousy.
I should start getting better now he had removed the offending sutures and my other open spots (at the T of the horizontal and vertical) and BB are looking better as well.
I feel so much more positive about things now. He has given me 2 more weeks off work, but I am going to give it a couple of days and maybe work a couple of hours on Friday or see what I can do from home
Thanks for your support, it really does help.

Hi Happy Girl...
So glad to hear things are going better for you...I've been watching your recovery--I'm going in on Friday--wish me luck and no rejection to sutures! Hopefully things are healing better. How long did you take off...? I'm having BL/BA as well as thighplasty. I'm starting w/4 weeks...hope that's enough! Lisa

Glad to hear you are doing better, sounds like you have been to HE** and back with your sutures. We should be thankful for our Dr's, at least when something does go wrong, they can hopefully fix it. Keep your chin up!! Nancy
