7 Incisions?! Anyone else get this many?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery last week and I've been to see what others thought about this.

I have 7 Incisions!!!!!

2 are still painful, my surgeon said everything went well. I've had a smooth recovery, but why 7?

One looks like a dent in my tummy, which I notice no one else has. It's like someone took a chuck right out of my tummy.

I had 6. A diamond type pattern on the front, then one towards my left side and one on my right side. My incision right above my belly button was the one that seemed to hurt the most. The rest were fine for the most part.

As to having a "dent" I have no clue what that would be from.

No one knows but your surgeon ask them, you paid them enough.

Since writing this and actually last night I took the steri strips off. The Incisions look amazing and the dent is going away. I think it was the swelling inside, it's looking like a regular ol belly lol

      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! 😞
