My incision (5.5 inches) at 18 days post-LPAO
5.5 inches!
My name is Jill and I am 29 years old. I am a former competitive gymnast and I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Chiari Malformation- Type 1 (8.5mm herniation), craniocervical instability, Neurocardiogenic Syncope and POTS (forms of Dysautonomia and secondary conditions to EDS), slight/minor Mitral Valve Prolapse, bilateral acetabular hip dysplasia (corrected in a procedure called Periacetabular Osteotomy--PAO), gastroparesis and delayed intestinal motility, Hashimoto's, Graves', Autoimmune Neutropenia, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
Your scar looks really good. This sounds crazy but I don't look forward to a scar. That is a question I ask the doctors is where is the scar going to be and how big. I like the bikini cuts because they seem like they would be more easily hidden then the up and down cut. But your incision looks really good. I hope mine will look just as good.
ReplyDeleteDr. Millis' will do a great job! According to Gerri he really works hard to make the incision as small as possible! About 2 inches can be seen from a bikini at this point! Scars don't bother me at this point!
