How many laproscopic holes?

I thought that the GBP would entail 5-6 entry points, but I only have 4. Does anyone else have that as well? Anyone know why?

  • I have 5. And they are barely visible. I was shocked when at how small the incisions were.

I have six. Four small ones and two larger ones.

Still a winner with 7 but you can't see them anymore except for the one at the bottom of my breast bone and it's tiny, like I was stabbed with a large gauge icepick. So NBD my friends!

I have five. Three are very small and can hardly be seen. One, right above my belly button, is visible but looks like a bad scratch. The main one, the one on my left side, will be with me forever. It is the main entry for the surgery and was the bane of my existence following my surgery. I had to back the wound twice a day and it took forever to heal.

I have 6 .. probably because my surgeon ( Dr. Laura Doyon, an Angel !) had to repair my hiatal hernia. No more acid reflux either... I’m obsessed with pineapple and navel oranges .. I don’t have fruit every day, a few times a week but I Jones for those darn oranges!
