I did my TT with Dr. Palmer.. I'm liking the results .. however there is a big gaping wound in the middle of my stomach , right below the new navel.. this have me extremely nervous!! I'm 6 + weeks post op and it's not getting better.. he us saying it's going to close up!! I personally don't see this happening without surgical intervention!! However I'm allowing him to do his job in a timely manner!! But I cannot wait forever.. it's very frustrating!! I need this heal like last week!! Did anyone have this experience!!

This is definitely not "normal healing" Dr palmer needs to be accountable and offer a true plan of action and explanation. You've got an open wound. Proper wound care should be a daily ordeal not just "wait it out" i know other doctors are reluctant to get involved but this seems negligent

I am sooo anxious and sick... Definitely will follow through. Thanks for input.

Hi, I hope you have received some wound care from your PS. If not, I highly recommend that you seek help from your primary care physician. I am 60 and almost 3 months post op. My incision took 30 days to heal due to restricted blood flow. But I never encountered any serious issues. My doctor was vigilant and involved. He would not have allowed a wound of your size to remain untreated. Best wishes.

When my incision came apart leaving me a large crater. My PS said he "would bring me back to surgery later on. But, not now cuz the skin arnd the wound is delicate/weak n if he sutured me right away; the sutures will not hold n the incision will re open up again leaving me with the same results. Also, it's better to wait for the wound to heal first."
So, I'm glad he didn't re suture me but I'm still not pleased with the outcome overall.
