How Long Did It Take For Your Incisions To Heal?

Hi, just wondering how long it took for your your incisions to heal? A couple of my incisions were a little larger than with the lap band, I am assuming because they had to take out the lapband and revise to the sleeve. I try not to look at them. Also, they glued them together and used small staples as well. I feel like I had a tummy tuck, because my tummy is firm, just looks a bit weird. My doc said the staples will come out at the first appointment. With the lapband I had dissolvable sutures. My doc said she removed some scars from the last surgery too, okay hook me up will you. I am grateful for that, but the mini staples look frankensteinish.

I only had the glue and mine healed super fast. In just a couple of weeks they looked great.

20something days out and mine aren't even scabbed over anymore.

Hope mine heal the same way, thanks for your response.

That's great, did you have mini staples too.

Nope! Just steristrips and glue

everyone heals at a different rate - I'm a month out and mine are just now healed. 2 of them were fully healed after 2 weeks, one was healed last week and the other two are just now healed. I had removable sututres.
