I have one inbetween my boobs, very tiny one, that is just above my bra line.

Then 4 in a row, horizontally, just above my waist. No drain, so no incision from that.

I have 6. One between my breasts, but luckily my bra doesn't hit it. The other 5 aren't really straight, but are a couple inches above my belly button across my midsection. They'll be visible on my pictures I take tomorrow for my blog if you want to look at my blog tomorrow. :-)

Are they large incisions or very noticeable. I haven't had surgery yet. Also, what are you all drinking to get your Protein. I want to start buying my stuff so that it's already at the house.

My largest one is about an inch long, the one between my boobs is only about 1/4" if that.

Ok....so mine are a bit random most people have them sort of going across my are just weird...I wonder why they are so different from person to person.....Anatomy should be similar so why the variance?....Well mine are healing well nothing to much going on since I just had surgery 5 days ago...Im having a ridiculous hard time getting Fluid or food in.

Five for me, one right below my bra line (small in size) then I have the one at my navel couple of inches running from my navel toward my breast area, then I have two small incisions to the right and left of my stomach then the incision for my drainage site, all of which are healing nicely :)...

I have 5, one on the right side of my belly button, one in the middle just below where my bra band will go, one over the the left of that one then one directly under that then the biggest one is just to the left of my belly button. They kind of make a rectangle missing the upper right corner "dot". The two directly to the left of my belly button are both relatively large compared to the others.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
