  • I think it depends on the individual. I am 4 weeks out tomorrow and mine are nearly healed. 2 still have small scabs but my big one is completely healed. I also have been told protein promotes faster

I think it depends on the individual. I am 4 weeks out tomorrow and mine are nearly healed. 2 still have small scabs but my big one is completely healed. I also have been told protein promotes faster healing. I have been a champ at getting in my protein so hopefully that has helped.

Typically, they say 6 weeks most folks are completely healed.

Hope that helps.

I'm 3.5 weeks out and I had a single incision through my belly button and it is still not healed. I was worried and went in to see my surgeon and he said to give it more time. I hope it heals soon cause wearing pants is so uncomfortable.

It was a little over 2 weeks for me.

Oh wow one incision. Aww I hope it heals soon for you. Yeah I've been using something like that cloth band thy give you out of surgery. I'm so afraid of messing something up. I'm scared whenever I try to shower. Plus I'm super squeamish (sp?)
