Incision around navel



Recommended Posts

I found out when I woke up that my stomach was pulled through my navel. Has this happened with anyone else? I thought this was weird

I didn't ask how they got that huge piece of me out. I dont think i want that detail. all 5 of my incisions were real small but the slightly bigger one was near the navel.

Well crap i just googled how big the stomach piece is when removed and Holy F***K

now i am equal parts disgusted and amazed. I guess it helped that it was empty and in the video they had filled it. but just yuck lol

My stomach extraction point was definitely above my naval and to the right, clearly over the large abdominal muscles. Believe you me I feel it! BWAHAHAHA!

That's what my doctor did. I didn't even know I had an incision there until my 7 day follow up and I said I felt a scab (it was the incision glue) in my navel. They said that is where my stomach was removed.

I am having my surgery Monday and not looking forward to having my bellybutton look like a cats anus.

I just re-read the pro-surgical list of things to do, and of them is too "thoroughly clean out your belly button".

Interesting.

      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! 😞
