How Many Incisions Do You Have?

I have six, which seems like a lot! I didn't ask before surgery how many he would make, so I didn't know if this is normal!

I have 6. None in my belly button, just all over my abdomen.

5

I only have 3. One on the left hand side and two in my belly button. None of them were more than 1/2 inch long. He said he used something new called a spider procedure. My scars won't be noticable at all by the time I lose all the weight.

My doctor said I would have 4-6 and I woke up with 7. Some are just little spots though. I'm 2 months out and they already look a thousand times better.

I had 4 holes & 1 incision where they removed the stomach.

I have 7

I like my 7+ scars. Street cred. B)

I have 4 very very small ones and one where the drain was and one where they removed my stomach

Total of 6 and they are barely noticeable.

I have 6 beautiful scars which are slowly fading.

Five and the largest one was made where I already had a small scar from previous surgeries. Now that spot has been used four times!

I don't give a hoot about the scars though. Small price to pay.

4 scars...one of them is in the umbilicus... Im almost 7 weeks post op and I can see them slowly fading away...

3 incisions are half inch to an inch long, 1 incision that is about a centimenter and one drain 'hole'.
