I am 3 weeks today and mine still aren't even close to being healed.

I had my surgery laparoscopic. How long before they are completely healed?

I had a total of five sites the first 4 took less than a week to close the fifth one took about 3 weeks.

I think I have a day 3 pic and a week 2 pic if you check my gallery pics

Mine healed really nice in like 2 weeks. I did not have sutures nor staples, I just had Steri Strips to keep them closed. My surgeon pulled them off 2 wks after surgery.

I had one stitch in the 4 small incisions and 2 the 2 larger ones. My stitches still haven't dissolved and I was just wondering.

Mine were healed in less than two weeks. No staples or stitches, just glue.. The incisions are nice and smooth no bumps. My primary was like he (my surgeon) is a pro. :)

Mine were glued. About 10 days post op the glue peeled off and they were all closed.

Mine are great

Geez. My date was 4/22 & mine still have scabs and bits of the stitches sticking out.

Mine was done with the Da Vinci robot. Idk if that makes a difference on the healing process. But, I just washed with soap and Water everyday and they healed way faster than I expected. Lol

Mine were glued with steristrips. At two weeks when they started coming off, they were closed and all. I kept one on for 4 weeks though. Never any issues with them.
