Hypertrophic Scar
I met with my ps on Thursday evening and he advised me that I do not have keloids around my belly button. Apparently I have something known as a hypertrophic scar. Right now, he suggests that I wear a silicon sheet on my belly button for 12 hours a day for at least six months. He wants me to come back at that point to see if there is improvement. No bikinis for me...lol...not that I was wearing one anyway. Hoping this helps. If not, he will explore possible steroid shots around the belly button incision at that point. I will continue to keep everyone advised. I am so grateful I have this amazing group of people to share this journey. Happy healing to all!!
Just when I thought I was out of the woods!
I am officially 9 weeks po and very happy that life is normal once again. I can pretty much do everything again other than lift heavy weights or jog longer than 5 minutes in intervals. I am concerned though with my belly button. It is still red and raised. I happened to be at my cosmetic dermatologist for some Botox ( I just keep spending money...lol) and we discussed my procedure. She asked to look at my incision and she advised me that I have keloids and should call my ps to be seen right away because they can grow....eeeewwwwhhhh. Nonetheless I am seeing the ps Thursday night and will keep everyone posted.
6 weeks po
Today marks 6 weeks po. It has been a long journey. We went on vacation last week to the beach and I had a set back from overdoing things. Fortunately, relaxing in a beach chair for several days helped out tremendously. Yesterday was the first time I went 12 hours without my binder. I think I see an end in sight. Hoping to increase exercise in the upcoming weeks to regain all of my muscle loss. Looking forward to ending the jiggling of my thighs!!
Provider Review
So far, Dr. Watts has been amazing. He answered all of my questions and gave me realistic expectations.
