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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
