incision healing?

How long did it take for your incisions to heal? I am just at a month out, and all but my largest incision are mostly healed. The largest one still has some redness and is a little sore...any feedback on your experience will be appreciated

I am at five weeks exactly and I'm mostly healed up. I have six incisions and two are still reddish and itch a bit. I also have some clear thread coming out of those areas that I assume are stitches that "melt" away over time.

I am a week and a half out and a all the actual incisions are healed...just some redness where the incisions were

I'm 2 weeks out and was just saying today that mine still kind of bother me. Is that normal? BUT I lost 3lbs just today!! 3lbs?!?! That's insane!!

The glue on mine stayed for about 7 days on the smaller incisions and over 3 weeks on the large one. I had one that was red and itchy but once the glue popped off it was grand. I had another where I could feel a bit of fishline poking but it disappeared. They are starting to look like my stretch marks now LOL

*I couldn't have a bath for 3 weeks and no swimming for 4 weeks.
