Hi @vjs I’m so sorry to hear that surgery is not healing as hoped. Some of the symptoms you’re describing may be expected. Four weeks is not a very long time for recovery, but it sounds like some of your symptoms may need medical attention. I might suggest calling your surgeon’s office to see if you need to be seen sooner.

Hi@colleenyoung. I am waiting for a call this week from the surgeon. The punch hole is healing now, it’s just the inner healing now. I think I’m impatient as I thought I’d be through the pain and discomfort. But I u derstand that some people take longer than others. I’ve never had a temp, incisions all are healed nicely outside. Crossing fingers. Thx for your reply.
