Gastroschisis

(gas.tros.chi.sis) Support and Resources

My name is Trina Im 22 years old and I was born with gastroschisis.  I was searching for things online about different scarring that could occur from this defect and I came across this website.  I was born in 1985 and I guess they didnt have a lot of options back then being born in a small town of less than a 1000 people I had to be transported to a bigger hospital in a bigger city.
The doctors at the hospital I went to saved my life and for that I am grateful, but i was just wondering if anybody on here has very unusual scarring as i have.

They aren`t like the sacrs that most are given these days mine are severe as one plastic surgeon has told me.  I`m not sure what I can do about them now seeing as how i dont have the means to pay for plastic surgery, but i did just want to know if I was alone in this severe scarring or if anyone else had similar scars as I do.  Your help is greatly appreciated and thank you so much for the support.
