My incisions are still a little red and have scabs still. I had my follow up appointment yesterday and my doc said they were healing fine. My port incision is the worst, it's like they overlapped the skin or something when they closed it up...it's going to be an ugly scar I'm sure.

My tissue under each of my incisions feels quite firm...maybe knotty..

Do you still have port pain w/movement??? Mine is still quite severe w/movement..

Try gentle circular motions right on top of the scar almost like massage. These tiny circular motions will break up the scar tissue and allow it to be flatter. Do this 2-3 times a day. A dermatologist told me to do this for other scars and it worked.:)

i'm 17 days out, also. all of my little scars DID have knots under them. i just felt them again to check, and they are mostly gone. i think that the knots could also be dissolving stitches, which could account for mine not being there anymore.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
