Scars are KILLING me!



Recommended Posts

If you are talking about the scars where the incisions are already healed, they are not going to open. Or do you mean the incisions are still healing? In any case, I would call my surgeon to find out what is going on. Good luck.

I totally agree with the above contact your doctor I am not sure if you think your incisions are going to open or if its been months and you the scars are itchy and hurting?

Did you recently have surgery? Sometimes the scar where my band came out bothers me by the end of the day. But, it's not painful, just uncomfortable. I'm 3 weeks post op tomorrow.

If you're in real pain, please call your Dr ASAP. Always better safe than sorry!

I had a lot of pain and oozing from my wounds post op, come to find out I don't do well with the type of stiches they used so rather than them dissolving like they should, my body was "spitting them out"

it was painful, and looked horrible. I went on a mild antibiotic just to be sure they didn't get infected, but after the strings came out they healed just fine :)

I didn't even know this was possible. I was allergic to the hypoallergenic glue they used during my sleep study. Now I'm worried this might happen to me! Yikes!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
