Incision around navel



Recommended Posts

I found out when I woke up that my stomach was pulled through my navel. Has this happened with anyone else? I thought this was weird

I didn't ask how they got that huge piece of me out. I dont think i want that detail. all 5 of my incisions were real small but the slightly bigger one was near the navel.

Well crap i just googled how big the stomach piece is when removed and Holy F***K

now i am equal parts disgusted and amazed. I guess it helped that it was empty and in the video they had filled it. but just yuck lol

My stomach extraction point was definitely above my naval and to the right, clearly over the large abdominal muscles. Believe you me I feel it! BWAHAHAHA!

That's what my doctor did. I didn't even know I had an incision there until my 7 day follow up and I said I felt a scab (it was the incision glue) in my navel. They said that is where my stomach was removed.

I am having my surgery Monday and not looking forward to having my bellybutton look like a cats anus.

I just re-read the pro-surgical list of things to do, and of them is too "thoroughly clean out your belly button".

Interesting.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
