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!

Well I'll be!! I'm not so weird after all.

Well...not about that anyway. ;)

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:

My drain was on my left and three other small ones all above my belly button, thats it..Total of four.

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!

Hahaha I laughed out loud at that^

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.

I'm on the right too!

Mine was left and 4 incisions total

Hmm 5 incisions biut biggie on left.

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.

I have 3 and the largest is inside my belly button and the one on my left is a little bigger than the one that is slightly to the right about 5 inches above belly button.

6 incisions, largest one on the left. I was told it is different from doc to doc!
