Sorry for the sideways pictures...
A year and a half later and this is what it looks like. It's still a nightmare covering it when I go to the beach and having people asking me about it.
Hopefully it continues to fade because it still looks very obvious and horrible to say the least.

Stitches for the 3rd time...
JB22November 7, 2014
The scar wasn't healing nicely so I had to go to Humber to get another revision. It was not pleasant at all. I had to get needles in it to freeze it and get it cut and stitched again. Took about an hour. Was in so much pain the first few days that it woke me up during the night and I had to take oxys. Also took a week and a half off the gym because I can't stretch my stomach...not happy about that AT ALL seeing as the gym is my life. It bled a lot the first day which freaked me out because it didn't bleed the first 2 times. It has a water proof thing on it so I am stuck with that for 3 weeks and have to hide my stomach from the world because it looks disgusting. I have to go back next week to get the stitches out...so this will be like my 16th or 17th appointment...hmmm never expected that when I signed up! I'm sooooo sick of this and just to sum it up I'll say...once again this is ruining my life!!!!!!!!

I hope you aren't paying for any of this

I'm paying for the gas which costs about $20 since I live in a different city. And $6 every time for the subway. May not seem like a lot but when I've been over 10 times it adds up!

Did you end up getting the BA? And did you get that free then or a major discount. I know when you have BA you are taking risks but dropping a hot tool on someone I really don't think is covered in that. I would talk to an attorney.
November 7, 2014
Yes I got the BA. And no they did not offer me anything..no discounts at all. I've spoken to people about it.
Ya that is definitely not one of the risks they warn you about!! Ughh

Horrible! I can't believe theyre careless during operation and you're not receiving the upmost care, since it was their fault! I'm terribly sorry you are going through this! Best of luck.

Yeah you would think they would go above and beyond and fit me in for appointments...but I had to wait 2 months to get the scar revised.
Thank you!

Hi JB22
We are sorry if you felt that we made you wait in any way, however that is not because we have forgotten about you. If you look up any textbook of Plastic Surgery, you will find that the standard treatment for scar revisions is to wait a full year. This is to allow the scar to mature because if you try to revise a scar too early, it may turn out worse. In the mean time, we've seen you back regularly and performed injection treatments to speed up your recovery. We did not make you wait 2 months, we were monitoring your scar healing, and as soon as the scar looked ready, we did the revision. Some Plastic Surgeons may actually argue that it was premature and we should have waited longer. However, we decided to proceed understanding how much anxiety the waiting game was giving you. Your scar has now been 'reset'. It will be red and visible again and it will take a few months for the colour to fade, just like it happened over the time you waited.
There is no secret technique or treatment that will speed up your body's natural healing process, it simply takes set times for any wound anywhere on the body to go through the phases of wound healing (inflammation, proliferation, and maturation)
We have not forgotten about you and we will stay with you until you are fully healed.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I was just talking about when I was told it was going to be revised again. The schedule was too packed and I couldn't get in for 2 months. This upset me because I know how long scars take to heal and I rather would have gotten it over with so it could begin to heal again.
November 8, 2014
I was told September 23 that we would be doing another revision. And the first available date for me was November 7. I ended up getting it moved up to October 24.
December 28, 2014
Omg. This is horrible. I feel for you. I hope the revision has helped. Please keep us updated on your progress.
December 28, 2014
Thanks. It is looking better than the last time.
Still lots of fading to do though. Waiting for a scar to heal is a looong road :(

NEVER ENDING
JB22September 18, 2014
So I am getting another revision on my scar. THIRD time getting stitches in it. It looks awful and wide. And now there is a huge indent in my stomach. Not only that, but his schedule is too packed and he can't fit me in until November! Not too confident that it will work this time, since it hasn't the past 2 times!! When will this all be over so I can move on with my life and HEAL??!!!!!
