Hanging in with healing
WORTH IT
My healing has slowed down a bit. I still have a small spot that hasn't completely healed on my left side and my lefty is still a bit swollen.
I'm still happy just worried about my left side. I started sleeping on my sides last week with minor discomfort.

Still happy
Hey there. I'm just posting and journaling my progress and hoping along
The way it will help someone. I'm still having challenges with my left wound closing.
Has this happened to any of you before? I find it very unusual considering my right is completely closed with very minimum scars!
I'm still happy with the reduction and with the size. I'm still swollen and tender in certain places, the left side being the most complicated.
Very little itching but the end of the scar under my arms I've been using strips to help flatten them out a little more.

Lefty Challenges
Hi, I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this but my lefty has some challenges. A spot that won't seem to start healing. Prior to removing the stitches there was a dark bloody patch and now this. Dr. Said it was common and to just put Vaseline on it. Has this happened to you?

Hey Hun
I never experienced this. But don't panic. Just listen to your doc. I have read other reviews where the ladies used Vaseline on open areas as well. Just keep it clean, dry and apply the Vaseline as the doc advised. Also, please continue to take your zinc and vitamin C (to ward off infection); and double up on your protein shakes. It will help the wound to close faster. Just keep watching it and keep the area dry.

Thank you for the updates on your progress. I just had a reduction on June 14th. It is great to know that I'm not alone. :-)

I have the same problem and my dr says put triple antibiotic and cover with a gauze. My surgery was the last Friday.

I'm happy to tell you it will heal, just slow. Mine just closed completely two weeks ago. I've started vitamin e oil on it.
