4 Weeks Post Op and Incision Separating Now Looks Like a Sink Hole As I Refer to It

4 weeks post op and a opening at front center, several day later it became wide and deep. My surgeon reasurred me it was my body rejection the stitches. He tried several stitches when it first open and my body was not having it. Now I have a good size separation in the front incision. Thank God he is so up front on how to address it and assuring me it's gonna be ok. He started the Wet/Dry debridement. Which is packing it with gauges that you put in saline and changing every 4 to 5 hrs. Each time you changed it removes all the bad skin and the stitches that your body rejects. He removed 3 stitches yesterday from the open would. And then on my hips that have healed the stitches are pushing Thur.. It's amazing how the body can reject something as small as a stitch and the results are scary..I actually told my surgeon I got a sink hole going on and wondering when it's gonna stop growing. But I'm so thankful as of yesterday it's turning pink which is a blessing cause each time I remove the gauges it removes the bad stuff and allows healing process to begin..my issue is the smell. It's comes with the rejection process. You want forget to change your gauges seems when the body dries them. You can smell the gauges..but I'm anal I change the top cover gauge that I place over the packing hourly.. cause I want it to heal And not get infected..I don't have any infection as you would think it was..but girls it will get better..I see the process daily..and with such a amazing surgeon and staff being so compassionate about there patients. Always calling and checking on me..cause at first I was like what is going one. Cause the incision got wide and deep. So not ever experiencing this I was concerned to start with. But after doing my research and realizing your body will do this and how honest and forward with my surgeon explaining everything. I know it will be a little longer process. But I'll make it Thur this..but I do take vitamins every morning and drink alot of water..but I will keep my process updated weekly..hope this helps with confusion on what is happening to your body when the incision separates..it's not your surgeon it just our body healing it's way..which the surgeon has no control over what our body does. But when there very informative and there at a phone call away that speaks volume. So good luck and take a deep breath it's gonna be ok..
