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)! ;)
