How long did it take for your incisions to heal? I am just at a month out, and all but my largest incision are mostly healed. The largest one still has some redness and is a little sore...any feedback on your experience will be appreciated

I am at five weeks exactly and I'm mostly healed up. I have six incisions and two are still reddish and itch a bit. I also have some clear thread coming out of those areas that I assume are stitches that "melt" away over time.

I'm 2 weeks out and was just saying today that mine still kind of bother me. Is that normal? BUT I lost 3lbs just today!! 3lbs?!?! That's insane!!

The glue on mine stayed for about 7 days on the smaller incisions and over 3 weeks on the large one. I had one that was red and itchy but once the glue popped off it was grand. I had another where I could feel a bit of fishline poking but it disappeared. They are starting to look like my stretch marks now LOL

*I couldn't have a bath for 3 weeks and no swimming for 4 weeks.

      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.
