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.
