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 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! 😞
