How many incisions (holes) did you have?



Recommended Posts

That's interesting, Quince. Then you've got to be wondering what happened in there if they are denying the seventh one. Maybe they started to and then decided they didn't need to.

Yeah, I found it weird too, but I would gladly have 10-15 more unexplained punctures with the results I've had!! haha :)

I had 4 - 3 about half an inch long and 1 about an inch. I'm actually super impressed that my surgeon was able to get my stomach out through such a tiny hole!

I started out with 5 and after I had a leak and surgery to repair the septic damage and came out of the 19 day coma I had 12. Added to that now are 3 more from drains from a second leak at 18 months. So altogether there have been 15 holes on my stomach. I look like someone took a Gatling gun and shot me in the chest. Two years out and do I care... No because I am here and have survived. Will there be more I don't know..I think there are worse things then counting incisions.

yup I do believe there are.....just saying!

      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! 😞
