I have 4 incisions, and I thought I'd wind up with 5. Do most people have 5 or 4 or a different number?? Just curious!

I have 7 of them too!

And we both had Dr. Schneider!!!! I must be his trademark! Your weightloss is so encouraging to me!! Keep up the good work. I am on day three of bandland and just trying to get in some water and protein shake. I hiccup with every sip!

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.

Make mine 5 "stab wounds".................

I have 5. The port scar is about an inch and half,,,,the other 4 are half inch or smaller.

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.

i have six. What's up with that?!

I have 6 too! What the heck? We got robbed! LOL.

Mine are so tiny though, each about a half inch and then about an inch for the port

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.

6 here, but I had a Hiatal Hernia fixed too so....

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!

5 for me - 4 small, 1 about an inch...1 week out and they are already going down!

4 small one large

5 for me, but 1 has dissapeared so it looks like 4.

I wonder why some surgeons use 4, 5 or 6 incisions? Not that it really matters - I am 7 months out and my incisions are tiny and really nothing - just curious in case anyone knows.
