Incision questions???

[Lisamarie 0]

Thanks to everyone who answered all of my Pre banding questions!!:clap2:

I was banded 2 days ago on the 19th and I am feeling preety good! Everything went well! I had a total of 6 incisions and 24 staples UGH!

but in all honesty they look like they are healing nicely and they really don't hurt. My stomach is tender and I am still taking the pain med with codeine at least for a few more days I think. I also have liquid tylenol for adults to take next instead.

I go back to the Drs on Wed to have the staples removed! I really think that will go alright too. I am just a little nervous:nervous.

I have 5 sites. 4 tiny 1/4 inch sites and 1 larger 3/4 inch port site. The 4 sites have dermabond and steri-strips. The port site is protected with dermabond, steri-strips as well as a bullet steri protector.

I have five as well. Three are really small, one is about twice that size, and then the port is twice the size of the medium one.

All of my steristrips are gone except the one over the port. It can stay there forever as far as I'm concerned. I am *NOT* pulling that thing off!

I got banded the 19th I have 5 cuts 3 about 4mm and 1 big one that has I think 5 staples in. the small cut that is the lowest on my belly the strips fell off and it looks open. I put some antibiotic cream on it and peroxide this a.m and re bandaged it.

Mine appear to be healing nice, but itchy!!!
