How many incisions did you end up with?



Recommended Posts

I had 4...one of those was inside my belly button.....the other three were tiny! In fact I can't even find those now and it's only been 6 weeks. My surgeon used what he called micro instruments....so I guess they were really small.

I have 4 new scars, the 5th incision he re-used an old scar. So I was pleased. The new ones look like butterflies. (They used staples)

5. 4 across midsection and one up higher.

This is exactly what I ended up with as well. And yes, they definitely itch and are very sensitive to touch. That really is nothing though in comparison to the gas pain.

Six which I didn't know how many I'd have so I had no idea what to expect beyond that there'd be multiple incisions.

I thought i had 6 until i lifted up my left boob and discovered cut #7. My tummy looks like a map of the stars. I also previously had lapro gallbladder removal.

I also had my gallbladder removed before. So I also have those scars on top of these new ones.

Yep, me too, 4 across the middle and one up almost in between my boobs :) They're all healed up but the scars are DARK, really surprised me. Hope they fade in time.

      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! 😞
