Tashabella 52 Posted November 13, 2014 Hi, everyone. I'm four days out and sitting on my couch recovering. It is good to be home. I was showing my husband my incisions last night and we counted six. Later, I went to the bathroom and because of an itch, I looked again and found another incision. Anybody else have seven incisions? I'm just curious. I thought they were supposed to do five so I'm surprised there were seven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngelaE 104 Posted November 13, 2014 Hi there Tashabella, The incision varies per person which is dependent on size of your body, some surgeons might need get access to your stomach and intestines and made more incisions as a result. I only had 4 incisions for my sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katcloudshepherd 630 Posted November 13, 2014 I had 5. Congrats on your surgery! Hope you heal quickly. Sip, sip, sip those liquids and walk as much as you can. Blessings, Kathleen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikki9 70 Posted November 13, 2014 4 incisions plus the hole for the alien drain tube - so 5 total Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogofulm 2,440 Posted November 13, 2014 Yup, 5: 4 in a row and one a littler higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 13, 2014 Five. I think. Some have faded and I also had a hysterectomy laparoscopically ten years ago and may be getting those scars confused with my sleeve scars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tashabella 52 Posted November 13, 2014 Interesting. My doctor was pleased in the time that it took him to do it. We broke some kind of record. It only took him 50 minutes and he said it was because I did such a good job of shrinking my liver. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had seven incisions. There could be many reasons for that. I was just a little surprised. I am sipping and sipping and sipping. It actually tastes really good, but I'm afraid to take bigger sips so I don't over-do it. I'm moving along on the liquids. Glad to be home!!!! ("There's no place like home!") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QuinceTucker 27 Posted November 13, 2014 I had 6 (+1 they denied creating but oddly was covered in betadine and glue when I woke up and had not been there before surgery...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
