How Many Incisions Do You Have?



Recommended Posts

I have six, which seems like a lot! I didn't ask before surgery how many he would make, so I didn't know if this is normal!

I have 6. None in my belly button, just all over my abdomen.

I only have 3. One on the left hand side and two in my belly button. None of them were more than 1/2 inch long. He said he used something new called a spider procedure. My scars won't be noticable at all by the time I lose all the weight.

My doctor said I would have 4-6 and I woke up with 7. Some are just little spots though. I'm 2 months out and they already look a thousand times better.

I have 6 beautiful scars which are slowly fading.

Five and the largest one was made where I already had a small scar from previous surgeries. Now that spot has been used four times!

I don't give a hoot about the scars though. Small price to pay.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
