How many Incisions



Recommended Posts

I had 8, one was a mistake, out too far, barely noticeable but still my surgeon did say typically 6 or 7.

I'm looking forward to more healthy and less chubby times and (gasp) my date with surgery and Dr Miller in Columbus. Its a beautiful day today and I'm seeing good things ahead for this Posey . As I lose I'm gonna bloom out and my outside is gonna match my happy little heart. Wish me luck, okay?

That's interesting. I thought the largest incision would be on the left side as that's where the stomach is located. I guess different surgeons have different techniques. Hope you are recovering well. All the best.

I have 4. I thought that was standard, but from this thread it appears I'm abnormal.

I have 5. Left, mid abdomen is the second largest. Umbilical is the largest. With the 3 they used for my gallbladder, I have a lopsided smiley face!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
