Where are your incisions?



Recommended Posts

I never thought much about my incision placement until I saw pictures of other peoples scars on another thread. I had one tiny incision right at my bra line, bottom of my sternum. (Which I can't even see with a magnifying glass at this point). The other 4 are all in at the bottom of my abdomen about 2-3 inches below my belly button. They are very faded, but even when they were more visible they're totally covered by my pants. They would probably be exposed if I wore a low cut bikini, but due to saggy butt and thigh skin that's not happening anytime soon ????. My scars are almost in the same exact spot as my partner's hysterectomy scars.

On the other thread Most everyone had holes in totally different places and I was just curious....

You healed well Kindle. I would love to have a tummy like that when I reach my goal weight, not happening lol. I did have one incision above my navel area. The biggest one is on my right side and the other 3 are on the left. One is under my bra lin and I had to keep that covered because of the bra.

You are so fortunate they are below the navel and have faded so nicely. Mine are above the navel and all visible above my pants.

I have one below my right breast, one below my left breast, one a little lower below my left breast, then a fourth one to the left of that one (which has lovely marks from band aids around it, looks like a flower. LOL I never have had an issue with band aids or anything irritating my skin, but this time the band aids left marks on me that are still there. Oh and one inside my belly button. This one took forever to heal but I had had previous surgery that cut thru my belly button so I think that is why, plus that is where my stomach came out.

My scars (minus the flower petals from band aids) are very light and tiny!!!

@Kindle Before I clicked on your picture I thought the arrows were your scars, then when I clicked on it and it got bigger I could see they were arrows. LOL

I'm hoping mine fade like that since they are pretty light now and I am only 7 1/2 weeks post op!!!

      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.
