How many incisions did you end up with?

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.

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 have 4

I have two - one in my belly button and one for the drain.

1 day post op. 5 sites about the size of a fingernail. No drain. I can barely see then at all.

4 and a drain hole. But mine was LapBand to sleeve revision.

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 have 6

I had five, no drain..... nearly a year out and they have faded really well. Can hardly see them.
