Your "large" Incision?



Recommended Posts

I've read several posts where people have mentioned that their largest incision is on their left side. Mine is on my right side!

Where's your large incision? Does anyone know why there's a difference? Weird!

Right side for me too. My Dr made 7 incisions for mine. I know others have less. I also had my gall bladder out at the same time so maybe that made a difference.

My largest incision in the the vertical one above my belly button. the other 4 horizontal ones are tiny - less than an inch. The vertical one is a few inches long...maybe 3-4.

They have to cut me open, one long cut straight down. Too much scar tissue to do the lapo.

I have 2 that are about the same, one on the left and one on the right. The other 3 are tiny, but those 2 are each about an inch, inch and a quarter long.

I have 5 incisions, but I also had a hernia repair. The largest one is on the right, they said that is the hole that they used to remove the stomach.

      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.
