I had RNY gastric bypass. I have 6 small incisions. My husband says it looks like I was shot with a machine gun! LOL. They are still red but I am told they will turn white with time.

Nope, I believe that is pretty typical.so you must look like you were shot too! LOL. My husband is so weird but funny.

I had sleeve on 11-4 and have 6 tiny places. The drain hole was the largest and it may have been 1/2" total if that

RNY and 6 incisions. Two that took 5 staples to close, one that took 4 and three that took 2. But I had to have a lot of extra work done due to lots of adhesions.

I had RNY on 12/16 and have 5, 4 tiny ones and one that's a little larger than the rest.

I had RnY and have 6 incision marks. They're really small- some have healed perfectly flat, and some are still "dimples" in my belly. They don't bother me though- my stomach hasn't seen the light of day in years and probably never will ;) The only thing that bothers me about them (being the artistic type) is that they're not in a perfect circle! :P

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
