Hello

I would love to hear from someone who has had a similar procedure. I had my procedure on 17 September. The wound on my stomach started to split and I wound up back under a general anaesthetic to have to cleaned up and pulled closed again (on 15 October). I have noticed that the wound is starting to widen again. Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm feeling slightly desperate at the moment. I will be seeing the surgeon again tomorrow but it would be great to connect with people who are having/have had a similar experience?

I look forward to hearing from you. Slight smile
