It's set for 22 September. I finally got an appointment with a plastic surgeon for a scar revision consultation. I'm not sure what method they will use but I've been researching the possibilities. There's a W and a Z plastic. Looking at my scar I'm thinking the W-plasty is what will happen. 

Here's what my scar looks like as of today, 4 Aug 2022.

Before I see the surgeon I'm going to do my best to tighten up my stomach. I'm not even sure if it's possible but I'll give it my best shot. If anything I can ask the surgeon to do it. Right?!

Come to find out, a scar revision may be more complex than I originally thought. I have a hernia near my belly button. An umbilical hernia, I guess. I'm still going to see the plastic surgeon on 22 September but I'm not sure if he can do anything. Looks like I will need to find a General Surgeon to fix my hernia with a scar revision when they do that. It was also suggested I wait until I'm off Lynparza next year so I don't interrupt my treatment. It's so frustrating because I'm trying so hard to move on but there's always something holding me back reminding me I have cancer. 

25 Sept

Met with the plastic surgeon finally, Dr. Chan. He said the scar revision is possible, I just need to have the hernias repaired. Oh! Did I mention I have 2 incisional hernias? Ugh! My life. The other is an epigastric hernia. It's located at the very top of my scar. 
I go to primary doctor on 5 Oct to get a referral to a general surgeon that Dr. Chan works with. Fingers crossed that all works out. If not I'm not sure what to do. The plan is to do both hernia repair and abdominal reconstruction scar revision at the same time. 
More to come next week. 

UPDATE: Dr. Chans doc didn't take my insurance so I'm on the hunt.
