2 wk post op

I think my stitches coming out (meaning ripping out not dissolving) early has now proven to be disastrous. No picture for today. I must've not realized how swollen I was. Yesterday and today I've bern itching soooooo badly! But also hurting a bit. It looks gross now. I think it's not healing properly. I have a post op appt Tues of next week and am patiently waiting to see what my dr says. And to see what he says about that one spot that I just cannot stand the look of ... Maybe will post a pic later :-/

Updated pics 10 days po

Here are updated pics. Even though stitches have been coming out & I've had some slight bleeding I still think overall it looks good, with the exception of the spot that looks like a weird growth. Will have to get that addressed at next po appt!! I'm just going to keep it clean and dry and put an ointment on! Think that's all I can really do for now!

A little worried

I don't have pics to post but like I said before, my stitches have been coming out. Today I went shopping - first time for lots of walking since my procedure. When I got home I noticed blood in my panties so took out a mirror to take a peek. It seems as if the places where stitches have come out are separated a bit and are bleeding slightly. I'm not infected and it's not terrible bleeding but I worry about how it'll look if it heals with a little space between. Plan to call my PS office tomorrow to see if there's anything I need to do. Also the spot I referred to in my first post is still there and I can't stand it!! In addition, I had a BA done at same time and my surgical tape came off my sutures tonight (10 days po) so I'm now also worried that my incisions there are going to get screwed up. However the incision sites were so clean you could already barely notice them! Will bring that up when I call PS tomorrow too. I was hoping to keep those tapes on until my three week post op appt on Jan 20!

I really like Dr. Hedden and his staff. This was one of the most embarrassing things ever for me but they all handled it very professionally and sympathetically. I have a post op in a couple of weeks and will bring up the lump of skin I still have that bothers me and may even bring up the hemorrhoid issue too.
