I'm curious what scars I'll have after surgery and if they fade for most. Thanks so much.

So far the main incision will leave a small scar and the other spots are so small they should fade. The big one will be on your right hand side of your abdominal area.about 2 inches above belly button and slightly to the right. Others will be in a circle around this main area. The main pain comes from the main incision because that is where most of the surgery takes place and they pull your stomach out of. It is a bigger hole the the others, also you don't lay flat during this the semi sit you up.

They took my remaining belly out of my belly button so I can't even see the large scar. All I have are 4 little puncture wounds. One for the camera, two on either sides of my belly and one where they used the stapler. I use bio oil everyday to keep the scars from turning dark. I'd still like to see pics though :)

Yes mine are barely noticeable. I have one more I couldn't get a good shot of (under the bust) but it is also very small and is covered by my bra most of the time anyway

2 years out and I can't even see my scars anymore. If I really looked hard I could probably find something but nobody else would ever find them. My stomach was taken out through my belly button so that main incision can't be seen at all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
