My largest incision had stitches on the inside, however, the others just had steri strips.

One of mine popped open about 5 days post op. It got infected and I had to take 2 rounds of antibiotics. (14 days) Finally started healing after swabing it with silver nitrate. It's fine now.

I have the Dermabond glue too. Although, on the largest incision I see a tiny clear little stitch sticking out! I do not know what that is about... how much there is that I cannot see.. I thought I had NO stitches! But I am going to my first fill this Wed, will see what they say.

Mine are quite itchy too! I shower, no tub. I rubbed off the remaining glue stuff from around them last week, it was driving me crazy!:sad:

I saw on a show tonight about a tribe. Five days after circumcizing the boys, they go to the beach and swim to help prevent infection! They said it stung :confused:, but it helped heal it... so... I don't know! Ask the doc!

      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?

      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! 😞
