Two questions

[sma102205 22]

Hi peeps!

Two questions for everyone if you can answer..

1. I am 14 days post op (band to sleeve revision) and the largest incision is almost healed however the internal tissue surrounding the incision is super hard.. Does the density of that tissue minimize overtime!?

2. I notice many folks are experiencing stalls 3-4 wks out what did you do to overcome it?

Scar tissue should break up over time. I've tried to massage my incision sites 2x a day and none of them feel hard under the skin anymore. I don't spend a lot of time doing it.. maybe a minute or two at the most for 5 incisions.

All you can do for a stall is keep on going. Some people will vary up their routine.. so if you're exercising 30 minutes a day, bump it up to 45 minutes. Or you can eat more/less calories and see if that makes a difference. Personally, I didn't make any changes because I didn't want to push myself too hard so soon after surgery. Apparently, a stall at 3 weeks or so in is super common.. so I wasn't too worried. I figure I'll use the aforementioned methods for the next stall I come to though.

I started losing again between week 4 & 5 and haven't stopped since. Including my stall and all, I've averaged about 20 pounds lost per month so far (I'm a little over 2 months out now) which I am still incredibly pleased with. Just stay on track and you will start losing again!
