Is this Flap Failure? No
So 10 days after stitch removal, some parts of the staple-line edge have a gap. The gaps have a red color skin filling in. This is o.k. I sat in my wheelchair (Roho air cushion) for a 2 1/2 hours and my pants left wrinkle marks-first picture. Insurance won't cover a Roho seat cushion for my shower/commode chair (using the bathroom is not medically necessary), but I did not want to risk sitting on the surgery site without one, so spent my grocery money, and plan on Top Ramen for a month. Second picture is of roho commode cushion marks after 2 hours.
