Luke, good luck with your journey. I highly recommend finding the best surgeon that you can. Even travel to that person, if you have to. I have read many great outcomes and many poor ones and it mostly seems that it was due to the quality of the surgeon.
Brian, glad to hear that things went well in October. I have some similar incision issues too. I try to keep telling myself that it is getting better, even if it is slow. I read that the sutures can last for several months inside.
I go for my 4 month follow up today.
All the best,
C
