kmorri 1,689 Posted June 26, 2016 I had 4...one of those was inside my belly button.....the other three were tiny! In fact I can't even find those now and it's only been 6 weeks. My surgeon used what he called micro instruments....so I guess they were really small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted June 26, 2016 I have 4 new scars, the 5th incision he re-used an old scar. So I was pleased. The new ones look like butterflies. (They used staples) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farcaster 80 Posted June 26, 2016 5. 4 across midsection and one up higher. This is exactly what I ended up with as well. And yes, they definitely itch and are very sensitive to touch. That really is nothing though in comparison to the gas pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

girluncommon 5 Posted June 26, 2016 I believe the number incisions will vary because of anatomy. Each body is different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idj49 10 Posted June 26, 2016 I had 7. I thought it was going to be 5 from all the videos they made me watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beck90 189 Posted June 26, 2016 Six which I didn't know how many I'd have so I had no idea what to expect beyond that there'd be multiple incisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
