WEESIE 5 Posted June 2, 2011 Yes, I got my book yesterday.. I read it until 1:00 in the morning. I agree that it is very well written with a lot of information. Thanks for the tip. Okay, I don't feel so bad! I asked the doc what the larger one near my belly button was and he said that's where they inserted a camera. I have a sad looking belly button-it actually looks like a sad face-I can't wait until it looks like it's whistling a tune!! Dave-you really made me feel better!! Weesie, did your book come yet?

Great I am glad you found it interesting! She writes in a funny way and it's a "go to" book when you have questions about something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXNurse77 0 Posted June 4, 2011 I have 3 incisions - 1/2" cut below my breasts in the middle of my chest, a 2 1/2 - 3" incision on the left side abdomen, and directly across from that one another 1/2" cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
More2Love 5 Posted June 4, 2011 I have 6. I was prepared for 5 also, but woke up and was told that I had 6. No big deal. 3 of them are so tiny that it looks like I got scratched there. I think that sometimes in order to see better, the doc has to make more holes. And you can always ask your doc about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cocoabean 430 Posted June 4, 2011 I had to count mine! Could not remember for sure. Could only find 3 at first, because they've all faded so much. But then I found the other two. So I have five. My hubby kindly offered to give me another if I wanted. Thanks Hun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My hubby kindly offered to give me another if I wanted. Thanks Hun! I went to my PCP the other day, and she was impressed with the WL. She said "CAN I SEE YOUR PORT?' She couldn't find it... It has all faded so much that I was looking for it, then found it for her to see. Almost 5 yrs. since surgery, and you can barely see it. I would say easily about 90% vanished.

Cindy C 150 Posted June 4, 2011 I had 5. 4 were the size of a pencil. The one for the port was quarter size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
queenie3 0 Posted June 4, 2011 I have 2, one in between my breast on the bra line thats really small, I can see it fading away without any problems and one actually in my belly button. I don't see a line where the incision was only that my belly button looks a little crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
