They are hard to count, they have faded quite a bit. I had 2 separate laproscopic operations close together. First one for gall bladder removal, second for sleeving.

I think I have 7 small ones and one big horizontal one right above the naval. It kind of looks a Joan Crawford eyebrow. :huh:

Here is what mine look like. I get to have my staples removed tomorrow, how freaking exciting! I also have one more on my left side that is the smallest of all of them.

5 incisions here. One small one just below my boobs and 4 along my waistline. Largest one is on my right, which is where the stomach was pulled from. They're all <1.5in in length.

1 have 3: largest is across my navel, the other two are on either side of my navel, closer to my hipbones. Doc said he did them that way so if I have a Tummy Tuck in the future the scars will be removed with the excess skin.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
