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.

      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.
