I knew a friend that had the lap-band and for one of the 5 incisions, they used her bellybutton so she would just have one less scar. I am wondering if this is common practice?? Freaks me out to even think about it lol, they will definently NOT be putting anything in my bellybutton!

I have 3 incisions. 2 really tiny ones and the larger one (port) is in my belly button. You can't see it or feel it. I love that my doc did that. I have attached a pic if you wanna see them. They are real faint. I am 5 months post op. I think my doc did a great job and am hoping It won't be obvious when I put on that first bikini.

I have 5 and one is next to the belly button and I am 3 weeks out tomorrow and it it so uncomfortable when i sit wearing pants - the buckle and button dig into it! I wish I didn't have that one!!! Good Luck

I only have 3 and they are up high, about an inch below my braline. Surgery was yesterday. Needless to stay no bra for me!

I had a single incision surgery, and it is in my belly button. It was a bit uncomfortable at first to wear jeans, but I'm really glad they did it. I will have a tiny scar tucked into my belly button when it's completely healed. I fully recommend it!

thanks everyone. Im sure it is a great place to hide a scar. Im just super uneasy about anything being near my bellybutton.:cursing: I guess Ill just have an extra scar elsewhere

Mine too is in the bellybutton. The only scare i have is the 3 inch one hidden in my naval and one that looks like a tiny bruise under my breast. The only problem i have with that is i have to push all my clothes below it because its still sore.
