I swear I am not whining
Can you give me any idea -- if you have one! -- why you ended up with a poorly healing hole? Was there too much stress on the incision line? Is it on your backside, where you have to lie on it? Or to the contrary, did you move too much too soon? Is there any advice you can give me to lessen the likelihood of this happening from your experience?
This is a huge fear of mine (besides the pain). I know Jillian had this problem as well. Being older than you or Jillian, I'm especially worried that I heal more slowly anyway.
Gaaaggghhh -- I'm going to freak myself out again!
My healing process on my body was made a little lighter by my lack of a belly button. I opted out-- just one more hole to struggle with, so I am navel-less these days.

I'm a very very lucky girl;. I had one of the largest brachioplasties I've ever seen-- with no lipo...and here's my result-- I like to think the work I do at the gym's done me some good:

I am not going to end up cut that close to the bone because I am still heavier than you -- which was my own personal goal, but that does NOT mean I don't admire your GUNS girl!
Yeah, I checked with Agha - he lipo'ed the hell out of my arms, both upper and lower -- but of course I am older than you and heavier and stuff was flubby-flabby, even though I've been working out with a personal trainer.
But DAMN those are some great results!
