Road to recovery
Doing much better today, still unable to bend much without seeping and slight stinging pain but it's not bad at all. I keep opening up the cut on the lower right side because of my jeans I wear for work and the bending and riding around on bumpy roads in large trucks. Placing Neosporin on it is helping. I started to use 100% silicone gel, I based that choice on an article that Eva G. sent that she thought I might like, and my doctor said it was great stuff to use. The one I chose at Walgreens is called ScarAway and normally it's $35. but with a Rewards card it's $18. for a limited time.

Thanks for sharing a photo. Did you discuss scar treatment with your doctor?
You'really welcome. No, not yet I really didn't think about it until now. Do you know if there are creams or such that others have used?

Hi ☺
Here is an FAQ that speaks to what you can use to help minimize scarring:
Thank you
I am waiting for insurance approval to get one removed myself... Did insurance pay for yours or did you pay out of pocket?
Insurance paid, I'm just not sure how much of it they paid. Initially my co-pay was $500. but when I was signing my consent I was told my co-pay was $210. at the surgeon's office and then the hospital charged $242. during my pre-opp. procedures. I have BCBS.
Thanks! I have blue cross as well and Ive been waiting for approval for about a week. It's been tearing my nerves apart! Lol
Oh ya I know, the waiting is tough, I don't remember how long my approval took, but I know it was quick. :) I hope all goes well, keep me posted.
I sure will! Thanks (:
Hey, just wanted to give you an update. Doc called today and said I have been approved!!!! My surgery is scheduled for January 7th.. Also said I would have to take 2 weeks off from work to heal up.. I'm tellin ya this thing is huge! Gonna be so glad to get this thing off. Thanks so much for all your help!:)
Woohoooo!!!!! I hope all goes well and there's absolutely no complications, and you're very welcome. :)

Thank you, I'm recovering nicely now and the soreness is easing up daily. I'm so happy yours went well. They can truly be bothersome.
