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?

1) Yes, the density reduces. At nearly 8 weeks out, I have no hard spots near any of my incisions. I think it took around a month for the hard spot near the largest incision to fade away.

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.

Yesterday I was 3 months out as well and down 40lbs with multiple stalls. I'm just thankful the weight is coming off and I no longer have the pain I was experiencing with the band.

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.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
