Slow healing. Bit worried

Hi girls,

I had my strapping off a week ago, but my incisions hadn’t healed fully so I had to go back to the clinic yesterday to have them checked again. I now have plasters rather than that steristrip stuff, but my incisions STILL haven’t healed so I’m going to the clinic on Monday for the 3rd time post op. Had anyone else been like this? I’m a bit worried that I’m not healing. Also means I still can’t shower 2 weeks post op. I’m not in pain so it’s frustrating as the clinic is 2 hours from where I live xx

Im nearly 8 weeks post op and I still cant have a bath as my incisions are not fully healed :-/

Oh god. Did they say why? My nurse didn’t really explain why, just said to have plenty of protein to help

I was the same but got all clear at 7 weeks to do everything as normal.

@laurag26 Oh right okay. Guess it just happens to come people then. When were you able to shower? X

Was able to shower at about 3 weeks. Just take it as easy u can so u can heal as quick as poss.

Okay I’ll try haha! Anything to not have to keep going back and forth to Leeds x
