Hey wait a minute. Why do I only have 3 not 5 scars?!?

[itstimealready 180]

Somebody was just talking about their "five scars" and I all of a sudden realized, wait a minute I only have three! what's going on? I hope my doctor actually did this thing, right? It was in the states so I'm sure he did... I'm just kidding.

I think there might be a scar in my belly button I don't want to move it around too much I'm only six days postop but he's a freaking genius if he only did three. Those will fade easily and be easy to pretend I never had this. Haha

But what's going on? Anyone seen this before?

Trying to post a pic...

I have five...

Or six...

I don't remember now...

But they're all small...

Except the one where they freed my innards...

No pics...

That's all you needed. Not everyone has 5 scars. I had a radical hysterectomy also done laporascopically 10 years ago. I only had 3 scars from that. I have more now because the surgeon made 3 (or maybe 4) incisions for my sleeve. In short, there's nothing to worry about here.

@@itstimealready -- Some surgeons refine the procedure so that fewer incisions are needed. When I had lapband surgery, some were already doing a single incision in the pupik instead of the conventional five. I asked my surgeon about doing mine that way, but she thought a single cut left too much chance for hernia......Can you see that the photo is blurred just enough so that your abdomen looks like an infant's face? You have to squint a little, but it really does.

Is this the same du-u-u-ude who has heretofore billed himself at every opportunity as the beginning and the end, the sun and the moon, and the standard of male pulchritude against whom all males are measured and for whom all females must swoon now exhibiting insecurity?

I've got 9.

I'll be glad to loan ya one ir you'd like.

Some of mine were for the umbilical hernia repair done right after the sleeve.

I only have 4, but mine was done with the robotic arms...probably on the Millenium Falcon too, since afterwards I felt like I was in another world.

I have 4 and now 2 years later, 2 of them can be mistaken for mosquito bites. That was apparently all my surgeon needed, (2 bigger ones for instruments and 2 little ones for cameras). Some do a single laproscopic incision. Depends on the surgical technique, I guess.
