I have 8 incisions including my port but 7 and 8 are really close together. Not much pain though. I fell lucky or have a high threshold for pain - lol.

thanks

I've got 5 but only 4 show. One 1/3 in on the far left and far right, one about 1 inch for my port in the middle under my breastbone, a 1 inch one between the port and the far left one. He also went through my belly button for number 5, but I could NEVER see that, and cannot even find a scar. I am three months out and my scars are some of the prettiest, smallest, straightest and thinnest I've seen after looking at the scar thread. I agree with my surgeons nurse. She said it is awesome to see him at work...he is a consummate artist.

I had 4 small and 1 larger so I say 5 but the hospital checked on me and said oh 6.....so I guess they count the large one as 6?

I have one true "incision" for my port, and then just three puncture holes. They really aren't even what I would call an incision.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
