After thinking it over we decided to get a third opinion from our family doc. Saw him yesterday. He was incredulous. He said the skin had already healed itself at the edges of the cut and it wasn’t ever going to come together on its own. He congratulated her on keeping it from getting infected for 7 weeks. He called the surgeon. I don’t know what he said, but tomorrow we have an appointment with the surgeon to have the healed edges of the skin cut away and have the two sides sewn together.
We’re really pissed at the surgeon.

Wouldn't you be ready to see a *different* surgeon by now? No way I would let that person cut me again.
Good luck, hopefully smoother sailing this time around.
