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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
