Incisions Have Opened 10 Days Post Op



Recommended Posts

Having to delay return to work as 2 of my incisions have opened after the stitches were removed really wanted to only have 2 weeks off but need hopefully one more week. Anyone else had incision problems.

I didn't realize they actually used stitches. I didn't have any, and my wounds were covered with steri strips.

no stitches either, just steri strips. I thought it was a pretty big cut (port cut) for no stitches.

I had internal stitches, glued on the outside, then covered with that medical tape that comes off after about 10 days.

I had disolvable stiches and the strips.One of my incisions opened up. It is only a small hole that is draining but its healing really well. Thank goodness it wasnt where the port is.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
