How many incisions did you end up with?



Recommended Posts

I had 3 incisions, pretty much in a straight line. Does anyone know why there is such a wide variety for number of incisions, placement, etc..

I have 4. He didn't need to use a liver retractor and I didn't have a drain.

I had hernia repair, gallbladder removed and the sleeve with 5 scars. No drain and I was not bothered by the incisions at all. It was the gas pains that did me in for over 3 weeks.

I have 6. 5 in a slight arc across my abdomen. and the 6th is up higher - practically under my left breast. at a week and a half out, the steristrips are just starting to peel off now.

English is my 6th language so forgive me if my sentences don't make any sense at times!

      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.
