I have 6. Which is fine. I thought 5 was the usual.

They are healing well and do not hurt. This skin glue though is driving me batty!

I was a little out of it when my surgeon came by the day after. I remember him being suprised and telling me I had a "big" piece of stomach to remove. So maybe that has something to do with it?

Not a super serious concern. Just curious. I will ask at my post op follow up on the 5th.

5. 4 across midsection and one up higher.

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)

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.

I believe the number incisions will vary because of anatomy. Each body is different.

I had 7. I thought it was going to be 5 from all the videos they made me watch.

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.

4 surgical incisions and 1 drain hole

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..
