milwif 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Hey all, I am 7 days post op and took some of my bigger bandages off yesterday. In taking a closer look at my incisions, I realized I have 9 of them. Most people I've heard have 5, my surgeon said I would have 6, but 9! Really?? My surgeon didn't say anything about this in the brief time I saw him after surgery. I will be asking him about it at my Post op appointment next week, but I'm wondering if anyone else has this many incisions? My surgeon did say that I had one of the thickest muscle walls of anyone he's ever operated on (ha! covered by a nice layer of fat) so maybe that had something to do with it. Like maybe they couldn't get their instruments in properly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
addelapp5 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Probably so (the muscle and fat thing, I mean). I had 6 when most folks I know had 5. Doc said it was because I had a lot of muscle under my fat (go figure) and that a lot of my weight is carried in my mid-section, so it took a little more effort to do the surgery.
