      My largest incision is just above my navel too. I asked my doctor about it and he said that is the one they use to remove the stomach so that is why it is larger than the others. It's amazing how smal

    I have one above the navel, My guess is that is the incision which the staple gun went through also the incision the removed stomach exited through.
