This seems weird the more I think about it. I had an uneventful surgery with Dr. Garcia May 21st. I'm already home and feeling just fine. Not getting in my proteins, but almost all my fluids. So I only have four incisions... Three little ones straight across and my drain. I thought I would have five? I remember the nurses looking for another one while changing the bandages. Even my post op doc looked for the extra one. Maybe I'm worried over nothing because I have too much time? Lol

Don't worry about it. Some have 1 through their naval and other have more than 4. I had 6! I'd rather have 6 small ones instead of 1 giant one like they used to do.

One large and three small.

One large, four small

One large, six small.

Dr. Garcia also and i have 5

Dr Garcia and I have 2. He told me that he didn't need as many because I had done so well pre-op shrinking my liver!

1 in my belly button (can hardly see after 2 weeks!) and a drain hole ... I did not do well on my pre op (oops) and still just had those ... Love Dr G & the whole team

Hey!!! You're back!! Glad to hear things went well!! How goes post op!??

4 total incisions. I larger and 3 and 3 small. No drain needed.

5 including the drain.

I was sleeved on 5/22 by Dr. Garcia. I only have 4 incisions, including the one that the drain was in. Dr. Luna commented that I was one of the lucky ones when he came to take my staples out at the hotel...whatever that means. I'm home and doing well. No worries.

How big (inches) is the larger one most of you mention? Thanks

The smallest I have is 1/8 of an in, and the largest is about 1 in.
