Sleeved 8/31 Some of my inscisions are healed closed and the others still have huge scabs in them. To top it all off I have one stitch that's annoying the crap out of me... Any suggestion?? Should I pull out the scabs or leave them? What about my arch enemy the evil stitch?

lol...that's funny!

I have big scab on several of my incisions, and the one is really, really gross. I wouldn't advise you ripping your's off. Mine bother me when rubbed by clothing, so sometimes I put large bandages over them to get relief. I have mine glued together, instead of stitched....except for the drain hole...that one is just a scab.

As a nurse I say "NO"

But...... lol..... I had a really strange scab left after they removed my drain. It was (excuse me for being gross) from where it drained around it and burned my skin. It wound not heal there and my skin was healing upward instead (almost like a keloid) and this hurt! So I worked for about a week trying to remove it. It felt soooo much better after. I think the reason i had so much trouble is because the scab WAS the old skin and it just wouldn't let go. Now it is healing inward.

I did not have scabs on my incisions because they used Dermabond (the glue stuff) on those and by the time it wore off my skin was 100% healed.

Oh yea i was sleeved on 8/27

I had the tape too but once it fell off, they started scabbing and I wanted to just wash it really good and pull it....grrrr

When the tape came off I could tell it wasn't healed well, so wondering if I pull them off if it will look the same or have healed more??

      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.
