Djmohr 6,965 Posted December 26, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angelface811 100 Posted December 27, 2014 I have 4 incisions. One is slightly larger which is where I was told they utilized the most to work on the intestines. I am almost 8 months out and they continue to lighten in color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mommabird 367 Posted December 27, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuzeMuze 338 Posted December 28, 2014 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!
