They are hard to count, they have faded quite a bit. I had 2 separate laproscopic operations close together. First one for gall bladder removal, second for sleeving.

I think I have 7 small ones and one big horizontal one right above the naval. It kind of looks a Joan Crawford eyebrow. :huh:

Here is what mine look like. I get to have my staples removed tomorrow, how freaking exciting! I also have one more on my left side that is the smallest of all of them.

Mine is on my right! It's about 2 inches long, if that. 5 incisions total, all others less than an inch!

5 incisions here. One small one just below my boobs and 4 along my waistline. Largest one is on my right, which is where the stomach was pulled from. They're all <1.5in in length.

1 have 3: largest is across my navel, the other two are on either side of my navel, closer to my hipbones. Doc said he did them that way so if I have a Tummy Tuck in the future the scars will be removed with the excess skin.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
