I would like to put forward a word of caution about this scar tissue issue that has been raised. The diversity of the people who share the support of this forum makes it very clear that no one person is the same.

Different surgeries achieve different outcomes depending on the individual and yes, scar tissue does grow depending on the type of surgery and the location. Knees for example is one area. Who else know someone who needed post op clean ups to their knee/leg surgeries?? Its a common outcome in the military.

I would warn against the generalisation that scar tissue does not cause problems, it does, and it gets removed regularly because of it. Remember that it is tougher than surrounding flesh and it doesn't yield, so even a small amount can cause grief.

Everyone, this is a quality forum, lets refrain from applying general sweeping statements from any source without focussing exactly on the audience intended, because it could unintentionally look like a put down of everyone else's opinion and experiences.
