How Many Incisions Did You Get?

[peacequeen 434]

I got 6,,seemed like alot to me? Maybe not?

Five - the largest on my left side where the stomach was pulled through. One was on the right side where the drain was. There was one close to my navel and two in the center higher than my navel.

It is interesting as I have shrunk, the incisions are moving closer together on my stomach. A good visual of how my skin is shrinking as I shrink.

I had 5, counting the drain. The biggest one is 2" above right of my bellybutton.

I have 4. They were able to use the same areas as my lap gall bladder surgery, so no new scars... yay. The one off to the lower left must be the big one, with the big stitch to the muscles. it's the only one I feel anymore.

5!

One. Through my belly button, using the Spider Surgical System. I suspect in the future that is how all VSGs will be done. I had no pain, soreness, feeling like I did sit ups, oozing, drain..........nothing.

5 largest two center one left and one RT. They pulled stomach out of rt side lg. Drain small to rt. One under breast MID abdominal high up.. for liver retractor

they are fading some with maderma.. I am using it every day. twice. I am 6 wk out.

7! But my surgeon also said that my surgery had been particularly difficult. I figure with all the sagging skin I'll have I'll never notice the scars!!

5 including the incision for my drain.

Five here,no drain, the big owie one is on my right side.

I had 6 I'm thinking my liver was large...I also had my gallbladder removed years ago...and the scars fade...so no biggie.

I was just wondering why my doc had to make 6 incisions. I was on morphine when he came to see me before I was discharged so I don't remember anything and my husband didn't know what to ask. I'm calling tomorrow to make my follow up appt so hopefully I'll get answers to my questions then.

I'm not concerned about the scars. I've had 3 kids a c section, hysterectomy, abdominal tumor removed, exploratory and gallbladder removed so my stomach already looks like a road map.lol

4

[Countess 5]

I think i have seven including one hidden inside my belly button that i cannot see.

4 Including the one in my belly button.....the largest he used the same scar as my galbladder removal a couple of years before. The smaller ones are fading away....not bad at all
