Incision questions

[Kate1973 0]

Just curious... how many incisions do you have? I have 6 and that seems like a lot.

Also, I was banded on 3/27 and it seems like my incisions are healing rather bumpy. Does that mean that I am making a lot of scar tissue or is it normal and they will eventually flatten out?

I have one incision that is 2", where the port is; another that is about 1"; and 3 "poke holes". All the poke holes were "lumpy" at first but I'm just over 2 months post-op and they are flat now. I have a friend who has an addition incision and another who has a 4th "poke hole", so I'm thinking you're typical.

2 poke holes, 2 incisions that are 1 inch and 1 that is about 2 inches. That's where my port is and also where they repaired my hiatal hernia at.

i have a 2.5 inch incision port site and 4 poke holes. My port site was lumpy at first, but it was across stretch marks. Now I am two months out and they are smooth now.

I have 5 total (also had hiatal hernia repair). Three are small and two are large. One looks like the surgeon made the stitches to tight and it's sunken in. Like when your sewing and you pull the thread to tight and material gets bunched up. Yuck!! Anyone else had that? Hope it flattens out. Made he let a resident do it.

i have 5 scars, the one for the port is the largest. of the 5 scars, 3 are "bumpy". i asked my doctor if anything could be done and he said no, they were keloid scars. it's been 1 year since my surgery and they're still "bumpy".:crying:
