Incisions healed awesomely, no pain prior to leaving the hospital nor since, bm is still a concern for me but I know I am not making my requirements yet...I used the bathroom maybe 5 times since surgery (9/11)...weightloss is great except my 2 week stall, lol...still get hydrated so urination is not like prior...have you tried rubbing vitamin E on your wounds? Never had bruising. What I hear is Caucasians are more prone to bruising...instead of lotion, try using melted coconut oil to moisturize your body while still wet in the shower. We shall get through our journey...looking forward to hearing more of your success ??? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
