Question
Hello doctor,
I just had gastric bypass surgery due to perforation and ulceration. Doctor, how long does it take for the wound to heal after laparoscopic surgery? Is the stomach stitches easy to tear, because ever since I came back from the hospital, I've been afraid that it will tear the stitches again. Do I need to pay attention to food? Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "How long does it take for the wound to heal after laparoscopic surgery?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Normally, the stomach puncture site due to ulcers can heal completely after 2-3 weeks depending on the condition of the perforation and the patient's general condition. However, after 2-3 days of laparoscopic surgery, the doctor will start feeding the patient again, eating from liquid to solid. The stomach suture if performed correctly and the patient's general condition is not exhausted. it will not tear easily, so you can rest assured to eat and drink again according to the instructions of the treating doctor. Should eat soft, nutritious food, not too hot and limit spicy and spicy food,...
