Banded yesterday. And I noticed I have no incision on my belly button. Is this unusual?

One high up, I assume this is the hiatal hernia, two on upper left side and one upper right side.

Whatchall think?

There are 5 total. 2 on the left side. 1 on the right. 1 just under where your bra would sit. And the largest 1 about 2in below that. None near the belly button.

Hope that helps.

I had the single incision surgery where there is only a cut in the belly button.

I have three. One right through my belly button, left breast bone, and one on the right side below rib cage. I guess it depends on the surgeon.

I have five, 4 small ones (one right below my bra), and 3 in line with my larger incision in the upper part of my abdomen. I don't have a belly button incision.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
