Dr. told me that it would be no problem removing the area but that my belly button would be small.

Very happy with my results.

Hey ladies. Everything has been going great over the last few weeks. I'm still very happy with my results. I was told that I could start scar treatment. Planning to pickup the Mederma brand today. Cleared to do cardio. And I have been using the elliptical and bike for a week now with no issues.
The only minor issues I've had is the following:
*3 inches of my incision is pronounced after a few days of draining and inflammation 2 weeks ago. Trying to gently massage area.
* one of my internal stitches came out of the side of my belly button, draining a little blood. Did call, nurse said keep area dry, clean, use peroxide on area, then cover.
* for three days I had a sharp pain to the left of my belly button. Nurse said that it was one of the internal sutures, to gently massage it, it will pass. It has.
*still have a little swelling around the belly button.

I'm attaching pics. Ttyl ladies. Pray that all is good with you too.

2nd Follow-up

NewMeSoonN17
Went to my 2nd Follow-up yesterday and the stitches in the belly button were removed as well as the last drain. I aggravated about 2 inches on my incision line on Friday. Sat. every time I stood up I had stinging. The area is a little raised and started to drain fluid. Dr. Ruzzuti didn't seem to bothered by it. But he did prescribe me an antibiotic because the left side of my stomach was a little red. I have started sleeping back in my bed with no issues. Swelling is on and off. Coughing and sneezing still uncomfortable but bearable. Definitely not like before. Pray everyone else is doing well. Ttys
