Incisions Six incisions...Why?

[FatToFabulous 4]

So I'm 6 days post op everything is ok but I wondering why I have six incisions instead of the usual five. Prolly should have asked my surgeon...it never occurred to me. Anyone else has six incisions and know why?

They might have had to put in another tool to hold something out of the way. Id ask the doc to be sure.

Yeah that's prolly best. Thnx

I only had 4. Depends in how much "stuff" they have to hold up to get to the stomach

Did you have your gallbladder out or a hernia fixed?

No. No other medical complications.

Maybe it is easier to bill for an even half dozen??? LOL Just kidding!

I had a hiatal hernia fixed which added an incision. I wouldn't have even known that he had fixed it if it hadn't showed up on my swallow test- it wasn't ever mentioned by my doctor. Apparently it's a fairly common thing that they fix but it often adds an extra incision.

I also had a hernia repair done. I have six incisions.

I had six as well...but they are very small and it didn't bother me

Oh goody... I'll be getting the 1/2 dozen then! What's one extra, really...

I had 6 insicions as well 1 for the drain and the rest were from the surgery

I also had six. I don't think it was because of having my enormous gall bladder removed, though. I think it may have been because I had robotically-assisted surgery.

I had six bandages, but only five incisions, left me wondering for a while, just glad to have my 5
