Hi
I am a 30yr old female new ostomate (permanent colostomy, and urostomy).
Long story short, I had my surgery to get a cancerous mass removed, which left me with my ostomies plus a Barbie butt.
First surgery where I had everything done I had dissolvable stitches on my Barbie butt.
Upon my follow up visit with my plastic surgeon for my Barbie butt, during his examination the Barbie butt opened back up fully. That following Tuesday I went for surgery again to get it sewn back up with nylon stitches.
My surgeon left them in for nine weeks. I wasn't allowed to sit etc. I got the nylon stitches removed Feb 2nd
Upon my to follow up visit Feb 17th from when the nylon stitches were removed, everything looks good, except for some granulated overgrown tissue, which, he used silver nitrate.
On March 9, I saw my local plastic surgeon at the Sloan Kettering satellite this time instead of going to NY for a follow up. She saw there was re-opening, maybe about a quarter size about a 1cm ;deep opened back up again.
I'm so stressed it's going to get bigger and I'm going to have to go through this again. No sitting, the re-stitching etc.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice or what was done for you?
