Two questions

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?

2) Stick with your doctor/NUT's guidelines and it will break. My stall lasted nearly two weeks, and it was when I was able to eat soft foods and take in a few more calories daily that I started losing again.

I'm almost a month out and the hardness under my largest incision is definitely softening up. Agree with infinite on stalls, just be patient when it happens and know that the sce will move again. I had a bit of a stall my third week - only lost about a pound all week, but then dropped 3 pounds already thus week.
