Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

A goodly number of my wounds have healed with exception to the large/deep ones in my armpit and abdomen. As per my PS's instructions, we've been packing those and they do seem to be getting smaller.
Though, good news comes with bad: I've developed a seroma below my belly incision---it started draining on its own last night through a new hole in my belly incision. Ugh. When will the complications stop?

Oi. Wound separations and popping/spitting stitches seemingly all over the place. Seeing the PS on Wednesday---hopefully everything is okay...

I will add a bit of detail about my situation:
Last week at my one week follow-up, my PS noticed a few small separations along my tummy incision and in my armpits; the one in my left armpit is a bit bigger. She gave me Silvadene cream (a silver sulfa antibacterial ointment) and instructions to clean and dress the wounds 2-3 times daily. Also, she suggested that I keep the areas dry.
Recently, the one in my left armpit starting weeping discharge. It's slightly yellow and bloody, but it's clear and does not have an odor. I don't have a fever, there's not spreading redness, and no real pain. After consulting some nurses over the phone, they think that it's serous (or serosanguinous) fluid---especially since I just got my drains removed. I calmed down a bit since I was worried that I might have an infection.
Today, I got up and my fiance noticed a spot of fluid on my compression garment at the back of my arm. We removed it and he remarked that another separation had formed----at least two stitches popped with one in between.
Needless to say, it's getting frustrating. On the bright side, my drain holes are nearly healed. We've graduated to large band aids instead of gauze pads. It's encouraging.
