Omg your story is exactly the same as mine. I had my tt 9/22/16 at one month had a wound vac put in for one month, it was taken out one week ago today and the dr sewed up the hole well as if yesterday the middle of theach new incision opened up and I'm backnowledge to packing it. I'm still very swollen, my tummy isn't flat, depressd and regret my decision. Reading your story gives me hope that all will be OK. My drain keeps telling me the swelling will go down she says the worst thing that's going to happen is I'm going to be skinny, I hope she's right and I didn't wasteff alot of money. I'm glad your doing good now!!

I had mine 9/20/16 and still have open incision from infection and very bloated or swollen--no wound vac used but finally getting close to closing up and drainage not so much any more. Dr does not indicate when or if the swelling will go down--still very discouraged.

For what it is worth, this is what happened to my mother. She had a tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery. The right breast healed with no problems but she had a hole in the left breast and a football sized hole in her stomach that would not heal. She went back for necrotic tissue removal and belly button reconstruction 3 times. The mesh lining that covered her sromach was exposed at one point. I ended up having to pack her wounds 3 times a day with sterile gause and saline solution until she could do it herself. It took a very long time to heal and when it did she had scars that made her feel like a monster. But in the end she was happy with the way she looked when dressed. The surgeon told her it had something to do with cutting off blood supply so she literally had to heal from the inside out. My mother was a diabetic with a candy drawer and a pack a day smoker, which I have always believed was part of the complications. I have concidered having a TT but having cared for her through the process I'm pretty scared to take the the chance. Good luck to you, know that you will heal. I wish you a speedy recovery with minimal scaring.

I am really happy for you that you have finally healed !! Don't know if you have auto correct that keeps saying womb vac, but you have a wound and going to wound care. So, it is actually a wound vac. Just fyi. ..L use them on patients all the time. They are truly amazing aren't they? Again. .. so happy for you!!

Well it looks a lot better than what it was. glad to see you healed up. Give it another 6 months before you make any revisions. Your body is still healing and this will result in what the scar will look like, waiting an additional 6 months after it closing will be the utmost ideal. You do have scar tissue and that is probably what is causing the pain when coughing.
