Six months on after abdominal surgery
Well I'm well and truly on my way to being fully healed. The scar is now starting to fade after the open seroma I had at the very beginning. I still have what feels like scar tissue above and below my scar line but with daily massage I'm finding it is getting less every month. I'm happy with my result, my clothes fit way better and I no longer have a muffin top when I wear my skinnies, I'm also looking forward to wearing a bikini in Florida later this year without having to hold my arm across my belly every time I sit down !

Well I'm almost 12 wks po, the scar from my infected, open seroma, took 4wks to heal and close. It is now tiny and almost as flat as the rest of the scar, I will post pics of it once its completely flat so that u can see that what once looked scary and seeping has healed.
A word of advice for anyone with seepage from an incision is to change the dressing regularly, I didn't, as the nurse at my docs advised me to leave the dressing for four days at a time, and it was that that prolonged the healing, the reason for changing the dressing regulay is that the substance that comes from an wound opening is acidic and it dries around the opening and becomes abcessed. Also make sure that u get a wound swabbed to find out what the wound is resistant to, as I was put on two WRONG antibiotics before I got the right one, which then healed the wound in less than a wk !
Here's a pic of me in my underwear to show my results so far....

Well I'm 26 days po, walking upright and with very little discomfort and virtually no swelling, in fact I've had no swelling at all since my op! My scar is looking great Im so pleased with it, thanks dr Vera!
The only problem was the seroma, I found out that I had taken two courses of antibiotics that were not for skin infections and so were of no use, since the hospital doc changed me to the correct tablets the small wound made a great recovery, I will post a pic of it on thurs wen I get this dressing taken off.

Provider Review
i found out about this doctor on Realself, one of the ladies on this site, who also lives in ireland, posted a very helpful review. Since then my daughter has been over to Prauge and had a procedure, and whilst there we met two other english ladies who were staying at our hotel who had also had the same doctor.All remarks about this particluar doctor are excellent.
