I have 5. 1 really small one in the center right below my bra and 4 going across my stomach right above my belly button in a straight line. One is 3 inches for the port. The rest were 1/4inch to 1/2 inch depending on the location. My mom had the same scars with the same doctor.

I have 5, One is port, 2 are sides, and one is one inch above the belly button, then i have one that is TINY, so basically it looks like i have only 4. The small one i seriously think took like 2 stitches, its really small.

You hiccup? Wow, for the few that do hiccup that's a sign it will last for life.

I'M KIDDING!!!! :girl_hug:

It's irritation to your diaphragm. It will go away... Eventually. <snort>

I have 4 small 'pokes' and one larger incision for the port. My surgeon usually only uses 3 pokes (I think), but he had to fix a hiatal hernia that was found during pre-op tests.

Hi there banders,

I have five, but I am jealous of you guys! Four of mine are around 1 inch long, and the port incision is 3 inches. None are hidden in my belly button.

Then again, I'm only 7 days post-op, so they should fade down pretty well. Can't wait!

      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! 😞
