How many insicions do you have from the laproscopic procedure?

I have 5 plus where the drain was... how many do you have? A friend of mine has 6... why would this number be different???

Hey! That's how many incisions I have also. And believe me -- they look a whole lot better once that tape and stuff comes off! Dr. Ben-Meir had told me when I first met with him that sometimes a sixth incision is needed when there looks to be scar tissue or something else blocking the way. I wonder if that is what happened to your friend. How's the sipping going?

HEY!!! I was just thinking about you!! How are you doing! I am doing awesome!! The last couple days were rough for me mentally...physically I've felt great!! The emotional and mental size were fighting me... but with prayer and bible reading I feel great today!! Email me if you want to! I'd love to keep in touch with you! [email protected] Amber

I thought that I only had 5 incisions but when I took off the bandages this morning there were actually 6. Only one of the insisions actually is causing me any pain...It's on my left side and actually I am able to lay on my right side when laying down which is nice. Marcy

I've got 6. 5 around the belly button, and 1 on my right side. The one on the right side is the only one that bothers me. Mostly when I stand, or go to sit down. I've been fortunate enough to be able to sleep on my left side since the first night home. It's interesting how it's different for everyone. DD

I have 5 plus my drain site.

I have 5 plus my drain. Isn't it weird that some surgeons use no drain at all for the same exact procedure? I wish I didn't have this drain - its kind of gross to change.

I had a drain but it was removed when I discharged from the hospital. When are you able to get yours out?

i got 5 and that is counting using the same holes to fix my hitial hernia i have 3 midline down the center one rt one left side .. they look pretty good

I have 6 and my doctor doesn't put drains in.
