scope sites

Does everyone get a scope puncure in the belly button?  My tummy hangs low and if I could avoid the belly button I'd like too.  I've had some past issues there and would rather just leave that area alone if possible. 

not sure Brenda if they do or not, i did but the thing you have to remember is that your tummy starts shrinking right away , anyway i guess that is something that you need to put on your list of things to ask Dr. H when you see him. Just a thought, if you have lots of questions for him write them all down as he is always in a hurry . He will answer all of your questions for sure.

Brenda, The scar from the lower scope on me is to the left of my belly button by a couple inches. I'm sure each dr. does it differently. You can probably bring that up to him next time you see him and see what he says.  Connie

I have a hernia around my ambulicus and I hope the dr. will fix that while he's in there..but I'm not sure.  I won't see him again unitl April 2nd for my pre surgery stomach scope.  I emailed his nurse Margie and asked her, I hope she gives me an answer soon.  I sooo appreciate the people who put pictures on their sites to prepare me for whats ahead!  Knowledge is power- but it can also sure raise a lot of questions!
