Your "large" Incision?

I've read several posts where people have mentioned that their largest incision is on their left side. Mine is on my right side!

Where's your large incision? Does anyone know why there's a difference? Weird!

Mine is on the right :)

Right side here too!!

Right side for me too. My Dr made 7 incisions for mine. I know others have less. I also had my gall bladder out at the same time so maybe that made a difference.

My largest incision in the the vertical one above my belly button. the other 4 horizontal ones are tiny - less than an inch. The vertical one is a few inches long...maybe 3-4.

Mines in my belly button.

Hmmmm. I have two larger ones- above my belly button and one just to the left of that. INTERESTING!

On the right, 5 incisions total.

Well I'm relieved to know that I'm not a weirdo with my left side biggie! LOL

I have 6 incisions...5 tiny, one not so tiny. Nothing on my belly button!

Damn, I meant RIGHT side biggie!

They have to cut me open, one long cut straight down. Too much scar tissue to do the lapo.

I have 2 that are about the same, one on the left and one on the right. The other 3 are tiny, but those 2 are each about an inch, inch and a quarter long.

I have 5 incisions, but I also had a hernia repair. The largest one is on the right, they said that is the hole that they used to remove the stomach.

I have five and my largest is an inch long on the right side!

I'm a rightie too:-) 10/1& gas pains still bitching in left shoulder!!
