WORTH IT$10,000
Well my incision is still open and my surgeon keeps telling me it will close soon, whatever that means! Im pretty upset that this process is taking so long i thought maybe him giving me some antibotics or something would help but nope he sayd it will close on its own and on my last appointment last week he said i dont have to see him anymore so im like ok uh i just gotta stay like this?? He just says it will close in about 3 weeks oookkk i guess i will just have to wait and keep doing what he says to do and put gauze and just wait! anyone else has these incision issues?? PLEASE HELP!

Yes better doctor said for me to put gauz and it will close up. So just gonna follow doctors orders.

They gave me some cream to put in it that's antibacterial and helps some with the smell. Then I have to stuff it with gauze.

Yeah got the gauze but no cream he said I didn't need it for some reason. How long did yours take to close?

What was said about your belly button. I'm so upset that mine is leaking and is now a deep hole

I have a whole also and its leaking so he just keeps saying in time it will either close up or heal and stay open he never gives me a for sure on anything. Its very upsetting!

How did you get insurance to cover it. I am in Houston as well. This apron I have is humiliating. At this point I would be fine with not having a TT and and atleast just having a Panniculectomy done so the skin is gone

Well the doctors office did all of it i just had to get two letters from my other doctors i got one from my PCP and the other from my surgeon who did my LapBand and like 3 weeks later it was approved. My plactic surgeon gave me sample letters to give to them and they just went off of those!
