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.

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 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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
