So I was recommended an absorbent dressing my one is called aquacel. It seems to have improved the healing process and sped it up. Be warned when you first apply it, it does open up the wound a little as it sucks all the crap out of the open wound. -

Hi Calli, I’m 2 weeks post op and same here two wounds refuse to heal and one behave infected. So I am not on Antibiotics and ointment. Surgeon said they will need to close by secondary intention, so will need dressing and salt baths. Pretty annoying. However I have lost 17 kg so far including the pre op diet -

I had my sleeve in 31/5, woke up feeling terrible wanting to vomit, pee, cry and hiccup at the same time. Loaded me up with morphine. Surgeon came said all my fat was in the abdomen made keeping the ports in difficult so I would be extra sore. Now day 3 post op. Gas pain still there and terrible and abdominal pain is crap. Don’t want to sit or stand or lay flat. Very dehydrated. Just wish I wasn’t so dehydrated -
