Incisions after 48 hours

[Creekwood 702]

I was always curious what the incisions would look like. So if you are pre-op and curious, here are my incisions 48 hours after surgery! I have some drainage but not very much, mainly from the port incision (directly above my belly button).

I was wondering how you were doing! Looks much better than what I had imagined. Pretty amazing really

Overall I feel pretty good. I have been tired/exhausted today, but I think that's mostly anesthesia. The pain hasn't been too bad, took Tylenol this morning, nothing since then. A little gas pain here and there, more discomfort than pain. Eating some food, drinking enough liquid. My stomach area is definitely very sore/tender when I move around but that's to be expected. Definitely noticed an improvement from yesterday! Hoping to feel even better tomorrow!

Thanks! I'm definitely happy with my progress so far and look forward to each day getting better and better!

Your incisions look pretty good! I was so black & blue, especially around my belly button, and where they injected the heparin. But they only did that periodically while I was in the hospital. Now, a little over six weeks out, you can hardly see much of anything. My port incision mostly, but that's looking pretty good, too.

Hello , I'm new to lapband talk. I had my surgery on April 30th.Today was day 7 and I feel much better. I'm glad to hear someone else went through similar pain.

Just like surgeons have different pre and post op instructions, they obviously do surgery incisions differently. Mine were in entirely different places, were sealed with dermabond, and i had no drainage at all.

That's funny. Every surgeon is different, that's for sure.

I only have 2 one in my belly button and one right between my Brest just under my bra line

I have 5 incisions and they are all up high. Like right under my breasts. Not sure how ill be able to wear a bra for a while. Does every surgeon differ on the placement of the incisions? Everyone I hear seems to have them lower and around the belly button.
