There is a significant indent where my incision over my port is.

[dmkar 7]

I have 6 incisions 2 less than 1 in and the rest less than 1/2 in. I had no drains or ports and I'm not even sure if they stitched or glued mine. I have steri strips over them that haven't fallen off yet.

Surgeon said he added an extra hole because of my size he usually does 6. And the one tgat is giving me greif is indented also

Me as well. Was very concave right after surgery, but not as noticeable now that I am losing weight.

I do! It the only pain I have over the indented hole

[MrsLulu 69]

Yay! 57 pounds down since my highest weight. 14 lbs since the day of surgery. That makes the pain a little easier to take. Lol.

[kjrny2013 33]

I had 4 incisions. Biggest one about one inch on my right side. It is the slowest to heal as the others have been healed for at least a week or two. Mine was done with the DaVinci robot, might be why I only had 4 total. ???

[Jodibee 17]

I also only have 4 incisions. All around an inch. Not sure the difference but maybe people with more incisions had other stuff done too like hernia repairs and gallbladder removal, or scar tissue from previous surgeries. I didn't have to have and of that so maybe that is why just four. Just glad we have all made it through and are on the road to recovery.

[missmegan 37]

My doc says he always does 6 on his patients. 4 about an inch long, and two about 1/2 an inch. Sub dermal sutures and steri strips. My steri strips all came off this week

Doing pretty good today. Ate a scrambled egg, drank a Protein Drink plus a bottle of Water so far. Went for a good walk and in very little pain. I was really worried about being able to take in enough Protein and water but I think I'm doing pretty good. Been writing everything down so I stay on top of it and it helps with accountability. I am so excited and I'm looking forward to the future.
