Welcome too. Stay strong and keep a good attitude. Come back here often. Itchy incisions are a nuisance. I was glad when all the glue was gone that covered mine

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
