I think I only have one incision from my surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I was banded on this past Friday, 10/17 and have been trying to figure out what occurred. I only have 3 incisions- one from where the band was placed, one from where my hiatal hernia was repaired (I'm guessing) and one from where the port was placed. This is unusual, no?

I had five. Four little ones and the big one where the port is.

I had 4. The largest where the port was placed and the smaller ones are for instruments and camera.

5 here as well. It's sounds like they only needed one for the camera, 1 for the instrument, and 1 for the hernia repair and port. It's all about in the same place so I don't think it's unusual

I have four in all. I was expecting 5 and was searching everywhere for the extra one!

      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! 😞
