Today' date=' at day 10 I would say today is the first day that I feel zero incisional pain.

I am still having shoulder problems but when I had a lapband that lasted weeks, which I do not think is typical.[/quote']

I'm five weeks postoperative today and I have one portal incision that got a reaction to the suture, and so it formed the scab that was preventing it from forming granulation tissue at the base. So, I removed the eschar and put neosporin on it daily and covered it with bandaid so clothes wouldn't bother it, and it is slowly healing up fine, although it may leave a permanent slight depression. But hey, whatever, it's not like I was going to win a beauty contest anyways. :)

I just plan on telling people I was shanked in prison if my incision scars scars are noticeable in the future.

Called my doc today because one of my five incisions, the bigger one, still is tender. Nurse told me that this is perfectly normal 3-4 weeks out, and not to be concerned unless it's oozing, which I guess is good medical advice in general. :)

Hysterical! Mind if I use that story? It's much more interesting.

So is mine & I'm almost 3 Wks out. It's the only scar with dermabond too. My others are nearly vanished!

All the dermabond is off my actual incision marks, but there's some left around the perimeter of each.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
