  • 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 the gastric bypass last month, Jan 16 and I have 6 incisions.

Hmmm i had 8 incisions but i think it was because i was so big to start with. About 500 lbs. Thank goodness they are healing pretty good.

I had 4! They said they typically have 5.

Not yet, but I will be having surgery with Dr Sanchez on August 5th. I too am self pay, and thought with his experience, and the cheaper price, it was definately the way to go.

Rny I have 5 incision sites and one where my up drain was that is still swollen and oozing.

I have 7 incisions. I had gastric bypass 7 months ago.

RNY and I have 8 holes, as I call them. They found a hernia when they got in there, so a home or two more than they originally planned. Bio-oil everyday helps the healing process and minimizes scaring!

I had RNY and 6 incisions...4 small and 2 about an inch and a quarter. Only one ever hurt while healing, and that was when I twisted too hard when backing the car. I'm using Mederma on the scars, because my boyfriend had it lying around. Never worked on his scar, but his were old. Mine are only 3 weeks old.

5 incisions..3 small hole size ones and 2 larger ones about 1/2 inch...RNY 3/3/15

I was a revision from band to RNY and I have 7.
