6 weeks out and popping at the seams

Within the last two days my pie crust incisions have laid down and now the incisions are laying flat. Just within the last two days I've started opening up. Two on my hip, one new one on my pubic line and 2 big ones tonight on my rib carriage under my left arm. I'm keeping it dry but it's got a lot of fluid coming out. I wasn't doing anything except trying on a bra my Mom brought me. :( 

This does not sound good at all. Go to dr real soon. Do you have diabetes? That could be why you have not healed in this amount of time.

Call doc now!  Those incisions should be totally healed in six weeks. Fingers crossed that its a minor issue. 

 

OMG, call Dr. Capella. I am in transit to NJ but I will try to call you tonight. Be well!

I split a hole in my incision at the 4 week mark just shifting in bed. It was dime sized. I had tiny ones open up around that same time. I did notify my surgeon. He said they would heal in 2 weeks, and they did. Had the big one split any further, he was going to staple on either side of it to prevent it from opening up any wider.

Laura, did your doc tell you why they were opening after a month?  I would have been seriously freaking out.

As everyone here has said call your surgeon  Please let us know how you are doing

That sucks, hang in there.

Hi,

how are you?

Did you call Dr Capela? What did he say? What did he do?

Please let us know you are ok?

Thank you.

Alla

yes please let us know how you are doing.  I’m 9 weeks post TT but my abs feel like they are ripping apart when I exercise them.  And I have a small pinhole in my incision line that opened up after doing core exercises a couple days ago.  That stuff scares me, thinking I might undo the muscle tightening and cause my incision to split and cause a wide scar.  I will add more walking for now and try the core again in a few weeks.
