How many incisions did you end up with?



Recommended Posts

I had 3 incisions, pretty much in a straight line. Does anyone know why there is such a wide variety for number of incisions, placement, etc..

I had 4, but I had my sleeve surgery with the robotic arm.

I have 4. He didn't need to use a liver retractor and I didn't have a drain.

I had hernia repair, gallbladder removed and the sleeve with 5 scars. No drain and I was not bothered by the incisions at all. It was the gas pains that did me in for over 3 weeks.

I have 6. 5 in a slight arc across my abdomen. and the 6th is up higher - practically under my left breast. at a week and a half out, the steristrips are just starting to peel off now.

I think it may have with our height and weight.. The amount of incisions..

English is my 6th language so forgive me if my sentences don't make any sense at times!

      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! 😞
