  • I had surgery yesterday. 5 incisions. Today I feel much better despite a minor comfort on one of the incisions. I think I will be in a speedy recovery so I hope. Hope this month passes quick.

  • I had a wicked amount of pain in 2 out of the 6 incisions. I would literally hold them (they were right next to eachother) when I walked because I felt like they were tearing. It took about a week to

Today' date=' at day 10 I would say today is the first day that I feel zero incisional pain.

I am still having shoulder problems but when I had a lapband that lasted weeks, which I do not think is typical.[/quote']

I can't wait for day ten. I want the incision pain to go away! ;(

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.
