I seem to be having suture rejection, I was healing great. It looked great then I had a seam split, followed by infection. Long story to short. I'm am now on antibiotics but my stomach is swollen and very hard and painful with an open wound.

who has had the similar issues and what test did you have and how did you improve???

I hope things have improved for you. Are you continuing to have problems? Where on your body is the open incision?

How are you doing now, a few months out? I do hope there were no more complications!

I'm much better now. My left side waist split probably wasn't a suture split but Fluid needing to burst out. It was extremely painful for weeks as my side swelled to a football size each day. My skin would crack from the swelling, unfortunately my left side isn't as tight but no one really sees it. I don't have love handles anymore and love my belly button. I do need touch ups on my back where they started the cuts as the skin has bunched but they will do it in the office this winter when I'm done swimming. Thanks for asking and checking on me!!
