RNY, 6 or 7 incisions. 15 months post-op tomorrow and I can hardly see them anymore.

I had the lap band about 10 years ago and I have 4 incisions and then I had it removed and they took it out using the same four incision points. I hope this helps!

I have 6 or 7. I have a radical hysterectomy laparoscopically years ago and had 3 incisions from that. One of those abcessed and is a little larger than the others. The rest are from my sleeve.

I have 5. The main one was really bad, but it is better now. Of course I had a hysterectomy in May and gall bladder surgery a few years go. Also hernia surgery. I am very white, and most of the scars still show. I look like I was machine gunned!

In time, the scars will vanish. I don't worry about them too much. The whiter you are, the longer it takes.

I had 6. I'm pretty sure one was an "oops!" Because it was puny and never hurt like the others did and healed super fast.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
