hrtgoeson 19 Posted April 1, 2009 a three-incision lap-band surgery? My surgeon told me that usually it's 5 incisions but there is a new method with only 3 and barring any complications I'll have three. I don't doubt his word I just haven't seen anything about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValJean 6 Posted April 2, 2009 Yes, my doctor told me just before my surgery that he was going to try for a one incision procedure, but needed the second entry point for the laporoscope. So I actually ended up with a two incision procedure (one larger incision just above my belly button, about 1 1/2 inch long), and a second, very tiny incision under my left breast (about a centimeter, if that).

princessmoni 0 Posted April 2, 2009 I only have 1 incission, right by my belly button. It has already disappeared. Never heard of 3 incissions though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
di1138 8 Posted April 2, 2009 I never thought about it one way or another. I didn't even think to ask the doctor about it. But I do have 3. One under my breast bone, one at the port by my belly button and one to the right mid way between the breast and belly button. they are all rather small and really are not a concern to me. Good luck with your surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
