  • I had RNY gastric bypass. I have 6 small incisions. My husband says it looks like I was shot with a machine gun! LOL. They are still red but I am told they will turn white with time.

  • Nope, I believe that is pretty typical.so you must look like you were shot too! LOL. My husband is so weird but funny.

  • RNY and 6 incisions. Two that took 5 staples to close, one that took 4 and three that took 2. But I had to have a lot of extra work done due to lots of adhesions.

I had rny and have 5 and they are so light and small they are not even noticeable, LOL my surgeon did a great job.

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.

RNY and only 5 incisions. They are healing pretty well. Lightly pink.

Rny 5 incisions

I have 5. and I had gastric bypass

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.

RNYer and I have 6.

I had RNY on Dec 9 2014 and have 7- one was the drain, one in my belly button, one is large (inch) and the others tiny. I am not worried about them... Won't ever be in a bikini... Lol. I had 4 from my band 14 years ago, 5 when they took it out, a few extras from removal of gall bladder and these 7 brand new ones.... It's quite a pretty picture- join the dots my hubby says
