How Many Incisions Did You Get?

[rebecca b 19]

have seven and boy are they itchy as heck!

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.

Lucky you!!

I had 6, at least 3 of which I believe will be removed down the road via plastic surgery to remove what I'm sure will be a very large pennicula.

i have 5, the only one that really hurts is where the dang drain still is. cant wait to have that sucker removed on friday!

I had the single incision. There is and was no body pain. The single incision through my belly button didn't even hurt! I'm 3weeks post-op and the only pain I've had is the head hunger and struggling to eat right!

I've got four. Doc said I didn't need the "liver lifter"

5... I think one was a scratch b/c it's already gone.. LOL... My largest was near my belly button.. (which I can actually see nowadays!!)

I ONLY HAVE ONE INCISION ON MY NAVEL. MY DOC SAID B4 SURGERY THAT HE MIGHT HAVE 2 DO ONE ON MY RIGHT UPPER SIDE IF NEEDED. GLAD HE DIDN'T, HE ALSO REMOVED A HUGE MOLE I HAD INSIDE MY NAVEL AND ONE RIGHT BELOW IT. MY SURGICAL GLUE IS PEELING OFF AND I CAN BARELY SEE THE CUT!

5 incisions, the largest being a few millimeters below my bellybutton.

Actually a total of 8, but one (the biggest one by far) was on my backside to remove a benign tumor. The others were all small, the biggest being about 3/4". I had my gallbladder removed and a small hiatal hernia repaired, which is why I had so many. I figured if I was going under anesthesia, might as well maximize it!

I have 2. 1 through the belly button and 1 for the drain on my left side. The belly button one is still tender (I'm 6 days out) but not unbearable. The other one never hurt at all. My surgeon was so cute and said he did it through my belly button so I could wear my bikini this summer. I just laughed!

I had one stitch externally to hold my drain tube in place for a week. After it was removed, I didn't have any stitches. I am healing nicely.
