Post Op question

How many incisions did they do on your stomach? I thought it was suppose to be four and I counted 6 total. Two on my left side, two on my right side, one under my breast bone And one in the belly button. Is this normal or has anyone else had more than 4 incisions?

    Oh ok, yeah I get that....they found a hiatus hernia on top my stomach so I am guessin that is why I have a lot of incisions. I am feeling ok, feeling nauseous here and there and still skeptical on what to eat for my post op liquid diet. I would rather just not eat anything so I don't get sick but I know I need to put something in my stomach. I am taking each day with baby's steps. Thank you so much for asking? When did you have your surgery?

    I had a drain for a week. It was so bizarre to have it removed! Doc just pulled it across my midsection! Hubby, who is a surgical nurse, took care of it before it was removed.
