Incisions

How long did it take for your big incision to heal? I mean the one the pulled the stomach out of....mine is healing but funky looking compared to the other 4.

I think mine took about 4 weeks to be completely healed over. It's the only incision I can still find.

I was wondering did anyone get itchy mine are & slightly puffy?

My Dr. told me it would look funkier, but when I actually got a look at it....I was a bit put off.

The rest I can barely see. They don't itch, but the area itches.

Mine took about four weeks as well, and yes, super itchy about two weeks out ...

I only had 3 incisions.... each about 3/4 of an inch long....... I'm 16 days post op and I would say mine were fully healed in 10 days and barely noticeable. Not sure of the others but mine were surgically glued shut....

I'm a month out and my large incision still has a scab on it.

I'm three weeks post op today and they are all itchy they are all healed except for that big one still has a scab . Does everyone still feel pain/soreness to that big incision ? How long till that goes away ?

I was sleeved on April 4th. All that is left now are red lines which I am hoping will fade. Scabs went away a couple weeks after surgery. I had six incisions and the big one was definitely funny looking. It's still a little wavy compared to the others but when I first had it, there was even a dent in the stomach above it as if it was caving in a little. When they were closing up, they turned itchy. But be very careful to never scratch the incisions themselves! (Obvious I know but a reminder is always helpful if they are really itchy.) Lightly scratching the area around the incisions helped with the itching.
