I'm five weeks postoperative today and I have one portal incision that got a reaction to the suture, and so it formed the scab that was preventing it from forming granulation tissue at the base. So, I removed the eschar and put neosporin on it daily and covered it with bandaid so clothes wouldn't bother it, and it is slowly healing up fine, although it may leave a permanent slight depression. But hey, whatever, it's not like I was going to win a beauty contest anyways. :)

I just plan on telling people I was shanked in prison if my incision scars scars are noticeable in the future.

Called my doc today because one of my five incisions, the bigger one, still is tender. Nurse told me that this is perfectly normal 3-4 weeks out, and not to be concerned unless it's oozing, which I guess is good medical advice in general. :)

Hysterical! Mind if I use that story? It's much more interesting.

So is mine & I'm almost 3 Wks out. It's the only scar with dermabond too. My others are nearly vanished!

All the dermabond is off my actual incision marks, but there's some left around the perimeter of each.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
