Recommended Posts

Hello, I wanted to know bout the incision we have ... does everyone have one above the navel? Why is that incision bigger than the rest ? Is it the same for others ?

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.

Yes, the one directly above my navel is the largest one.

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 small they all are right?

      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! 😞
