Ok, I know I was told this at my consult, but I was so excited/worried and full of questions I didn't hear the answer to this question. How many incisions can I expect? Will they be very noticeable?

I am not sure about what is normal - but I have got five. The biggest is the one where the port is. They would not be bigger than an inch each and there are no stitches - just strips to hold them closed

I don't know how bad they will scar as I have still got dressings on them, but I am going to use "bio-oil" LINK: Bio Oil - Uses to get rid of any scars. Better to have 20 scars and be healthy though, I say !

There Are 5 incisions One for the port. One to push you liver up..One for the Camera and two more for the doctor to put the lap-band in ....the port is very noticeable but the others doesnt show ..thats what i was told.. the incisions are about a inch long

Hope i Helped :scared2:

Ditto on what was said above.

Took my dressings off today - and replaced them with new ones. Ugh!!! The biggest cut is about 2 inches long!! I am sure they heal up really well though, I just disinfected them and put new dressings on - I think that if they are kept clean and dry there is less chance of scarring. When there is no seepage I will use Biooil. Should be sweet tho! I am impressed that there was no stitches!
