My incisions are still a little red and have scabs still. I had my follow up appointment yesterday and my doc said they were healing fine. My port incision is the worst, it's like they overlapped the skin or something when they closed it up...it's going to be an ugly scar I'm sure.

My tissue under each of my incisions feels quite firm...maybe knotty..

Do you still have port pain w/movement??? Mine is still quite severe w/movement..

Try gentle circular motions right on top of the scar almost like massage. These tiny circular motions will break up the scar tissue and allow it to be flatter. Do this 2-3 times a day. A dermatologist told me to do this for other scars and it worked.:)

i'm 17 days out, also. all of my little scars DID have knots under them. i just felt them again to check, and they are mostly gone. i think that the knots could also be dissolving stitches, which could account for mine not being there anymore.

      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...

        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.
