November Sleevesters?

[Mz.Smurf 31]

Did anyone's doc tell them how long it takes for their incision and staples to scar over on their new pouch?

My doctor told me 2 months

Hi Y'all,

I was sleeved on Tuesday and have been in the hospital. I will be released today, the only real problems were that I was nauseated and had the dry heaves. My blood count was low and I had to get blood. I feel great today but it was rough.

[Red_Charms09 102]

Glad you are doing better Missy

My surgeon told me that the staple line (new stomach) is about 80-90% healed over at this point (11days post op) I still have steri strips on my incisions and he said to let them fall off naturally. They are so itchy though - I can't stand it

My hospital told me not to remove the strips but sometimes they just start getting gross and wont come off... After 10 days we can remove them ourselves.

I am relatively new to the site do there may have already been this thread prior so I apologize.

Just wondering of the planned/anticipated novembers?[/quote']

Well today is day three from my postop on the 20th I didn't do too bad in the hospital but after getting home last night today has been awful! I'm nauseous my pain is horrible I've been walking around my complex trying to make sure that I'm getting rid of gas in case that's the pain. I've tried some small small bites of mashed potatoes with gravy and a little bit of stuffing very moistened. Delicious but I don't think it's good For me right now. I got up this morning it made a Protein Drink and have been sipping on it all day. A little boring but I can't wait to see how much I weigh soon. My postop appointment is Monday at 10 AM hopefully by then I've lost some weight. As much pain as I'm in I'm having a hard time with the commitment I made for next weekend babysitting my grandkids. I really want to be well by then because they were so disappointed when I wasn't at the Thanksgiving table. I can see this will get better I hope we all have really good luck I'm so excited to lose the weight just wanted to check in to let you know how today was going check back and let me know how your day is going. I love reading all your stories

They told me the same about the steri strips but they had blood caked behind them and looked dirty to me so I took them off after 9 days and put a clean bandaid on the largest. The others looks ok.

I had glue closure and it started to look black because of lint from all of my black clothing.... I peeled the rest that hadn't fallen off this morning and my incisions are healing well@ 16 days out

Mine are 10 days old and look gross, but im afraid to pull them off , like you said blood is under them . My doc told me to let them fall off , I go to see him on Thursday if they are still there i'll let him pull them off haha
