Thank you so much for your replies... it makes me feel better to hear that this wasn't some crazy technique my doctor decided to explore on my surgery! LOL... he has done over 3k surgeries so I am confident about what he has done. I just had a lot of scar tissue around my belly button that he had to fight and I was concerned that, that had something to do with why there were only 2. Thank you all again! Congrats on your continued success!!!!

Hi ya'll. Well I just had surgery on Monday and I only have to incisions. One between my breasts and the other looking like it takes up my whole belly button. I would assume that is where my port is but there is a lot of gauze and tape there so it is hard to tell... The obviously is the source of my pain... the other one isn't even noticeable. I have heard so many people say they have between 3 & 5 incisions... anyone else only have 2???

Well here I go off on a new adventure and a long and exciting journey. Here I am 28 years old and as society would like to say... fat! I have struggled with weight all my life. Just about everyone in my family is overweight or morbidly obese. I am here to start the journey to be on the other side of the fence. I have a beautiful 20 month old daughter that I can't keep up with and have decided to make my outsides match my insides. I have so many aspirations and dreams for things to do in my life and with my daughter and family... I'm not going to let weight slow me down. So here I come... onto lapbandtalk.com. I'm one of the lucky ones... not only do I have a phenominal support system in my family I also have two wonderful friends who work with me that will be going through the process with me. They too have decided that the lap band is the change they need in their life to help them be and accomplish what they dream. I am not very good at navigating this site so please bear with me... but I am so excited to meet everyone and look forward to learning all about the travels that have gotten you to where you are today. :tt2:
