anyone's Dr NOT sew your incision shut?



Recommended Posts

My largest incision had stitches on the inside, however, the others just had steri strips.

One of mine popped open about 5 days post op. It got infected and I had to take 2 rounds of antibiotics. (14 days) Finally started healing after swabing it with silver nitrate. It's fine now.

I have the Dermabond glue too. Although, on the largest incision I see a tiny clear little stitch sticking out! I do not know what that is about... how much there is that I cannot see.. I thought I had NO stitches! But I am going to my first fill this Wed, will see what they say.

Mine are quite itchy too! I shower, no tub. I rubbed off the remaining glue stuff from around them last week, it was driving me crazy!:sad:

I saw on a show tonight about a tribe. Five days after circumcizing the boys, they go to the beach and swim to help prevent infection! They said it stung :confused:, but it helped heal it... so... I don't know! Ask the doc!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
