Ok came home waited 14 days, got my stitches out! 4 of my stitches are healing great! However I am really having trouble with 2 of them! They are moist and don't want to dry up and heal! They seperated a little! The doc said if they do any more to come back! The stitches I'm having trouble with is the one under my bra! And the one on my left side at waist where you do all your bending! I'm a little worried about it! Has anyone else had this problem

Hey girl. I am having the same ordeal! My top one came completely open! Was gross! So my doc has me soak some gauze with sterile solution and put it on my open incisions for 15 minutes then put antibiotic ointment on it with a bandage. Just the two that are open. My other incisions are doing good. But my two that are open just have to heal from the inside out.

I went to the doctor today, he said leave off the band aids ( I was blistering from them) then in the morning he said to take a gauze and put hydrogen peroxide on it and dab the stitch are, then let air dry! He also said I could put neosporine around where the band aids hurt my skin, then to repeat at night

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
