How many incisions?



Recommended Posts

I paid extra to have one through the belly button. Recovery was very fast.

I bet! Wow, that's great you had the option to pay more to be able to have only one through the belly button. :)

I have:

2 tiny circular incisions (the size of scabs) with one being at the bottom of my chest

2 longer incisions with one being where my port was; the other is on the opposite side in similar place but is not very noticeable

1 more distinct incision less than 1 inch northwest of my bellybutton

None have given any pain but I'm find it tempting to scratch off the little scabs LOL - I wouldn't, though.

I had 8, one was a mistake (too far out). I'm told 7 is typical

They are all very small and healing nicely. 3 are barely noticeable at all.

Thank you all again for your responses! Only one that kind of bothers me (well, they all itch booo lol) is one that is at the center top cause it sits right under my bra band.

I had 6. 5 in a slight arc over my abdomen - left most one slightly larger where they pulled the stomach out. and the 6th is up under my bra band - i didn't ask but thinking that may have been for one of the retractors holding my liver out of the way

      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! 😞
