I had my gull bladder (I think that's how you spell it.) Removed about 14 yrs ago. And I have minor scars from that. Will they do the insicions on those? Just wondering.

No, I don't believe they do since I think the gallbladder scars are too high.

I had my gall bladder removed 9 months before y surgery and they did use mine.

Just wondering if that would make the insicions larger or thicker scaring?

It didn't make mine any larger but I think it depends on the surgeon. Scars didn't seem to change much at all. The ones that he used looked like they did before

It depends on the previous scar tissue

How excited I would be if he could use my pre-existing scars!!! Lol I have had way too many abdominal surgeries (lap band, removal, replacement, gallbladder, 2 c-sections and hysterectomy) in the last 10 years. So I have plenty of scars to choose from! Lol looks like a TJ knife fight on my tummy as-is, but would be nice to keep it at what it is, instead of adding more! Lol Oh well, I guess I'll find out in 18 days (not that I'm counting)! ;)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
