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.

Pic of the separation
This was taken the day after I returned to the U.S. and the incision opened. It looks a little better now.
There is some blood which the surgeon says is a good thing because that means new tissue is forming. Still, it will be months before it closes. He said wounds like this heal 15% a week.

Major Wound Separation (Ugh!!)
Sorry I have been MIA since returning from Mexico, but I have been a bit (well, more than a bit) bummed out.
The vertical incision on my left thigh ruptured and it's too wide to be restitched. I'm not sure what I did to cause it to split, but it did. Now, I am seeing a plastic surgeon at home for wound care. He says it will take up to three months to heal, then I will have to decide if I want a scar revision.
I return to Mexico in a couple of weeks to see my surgeon there and have the other stitches removed. I have one other spot that is coming undone. I am going to try Steri-Strips to keep it together.
I am unhappy right now but do like the fact that my thighs no longer bulge several inches out to the front. I can't exercise until the open wound heals, and I have to say that is pretty scary for me. I worked hard to lose weight and fat and really don't want to gain any of it back.
I am eating foods that promote wound healing in an effort to make it heal faster.
I'll keep you all posted :)
Thank you for all your kind and positive thoughts! They have been super appreciated :)

More stitches!!
My drains are out but I had to have some more sutures put in place in a different area. Sigh! The plane ride home is going to be interesting for sure :(
