Okay so this may sound crazy but i am 9 days post op. I went into surgery expecting regularly incisions, and when i woke up i only had one through my belly which i was confused as well as ecstatic! But i dont know if this is healing correctly or if its scabbing right or if is infection (no puss no ooze, just very hard scabs which causes pain when i sit down) i was just wondering if anyone has had a single incision through the navel and if so, is this normal?

I had a single incision on 01/09/17 through my bellybutton as well! Though, I didn't experience any pain whatsoever on or around my incision. Here's a picture of what my incision looked like post surgery. You can barely tell, lol. So I'm not surprised I didn't feel any pain. That skinny black line at the bottoms of my bellybutton, is the incision. Oh! & I didn't experience scanning! But everyone is different. I only experienced flaking glue that fell off on its own.post-309185-14863141112497_thumb.jpg

Thank you! I will talk to my doctor and see why the scabbing is causing me pain. Wish you luck on your journey

I had pain at my primary incision site due to internal stitch healing, I bet your doctor will say this is very normal 9 days is a short time

      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.
