Congrats! I ended up not being pregnant but how is it going for you if you don’t mind me asking? When I informed my surgeon they treated me like a child and told me it was irresponsible and that I need to wait until I’m 18 months out from surgery to be pregnant

Thank you, I’ve been scared to eat more in fear of gaining weight but I will try it !

My surgeon specifically said that if I'm going to try "composite foods" (as he called them), to try the individual components first... so for pizza you'd try cheese, and bread, and Tomato sauce. Given the amounts they're talking about it's hard to imagine eating more than a bite or two of pizza.

I’ve had the same problem. I have had one spot that opened up very soon following surgery on August 3. It was a bit deep, so I have had to put a strip of packing in it and cover with a bandaid every day. This morning, it would only accommodate a very short piece of packing so it is definitely healing and growing smaller.

I had mine august 5th

I agree with Dame21. I had one of my incisions (one of the smaller ones) open like that. My surgeon used this clear stitch glue stuff, so I never had any blood come out, but it did look like it bled just a little under the glue stuff. When I saw my surgeon for my next follow-up soon after, he said it looked fine. I think they just sometimes heal like that. So far, that is the darkest scar forming out of all of them. Like Dame said, just follow up with your doctor on Monday.

Thank you so much I really needed the reassurance

Hey I made this account bevause I been snooping around to see if anyone has been experiencing what I’m experiencing. I since decided to make an account because I am about 2 weeks post op and today I noticed that the largest incision looks a little open. Idk if I moved to much and broke it or if it was scabbed and pealed off in my sleep. I panicked and put a bandaid over that piece and contacted my home nurse but I doubt I’ll get a response on the weekend. It’s not leaky or anything but the bandaid did have a little bit of blood not like a lot but enough to leave a dot on the bandaid. Should I be worried?

If is doesn't have a lot of blood, I think you're probably ok. Keep it covered, keep an eye on it, and follow up with Dr on Monday. Good luck.
