did you have with your VSG? I'm shocked that I only had two incisions. One in the belly button and one on the right side that is about 1/2 inch. I can't believe how good I am actually feeling only 2 days out. I hope it continues!!!

I have 5. one under each breast, one in belly, one to the right about half way down (drain) and one just the right of that. One is tiny, can't see belly button one, the ones up top are going to heal to nothing. Only one thats going to leave a mark is the drain.

I had 5 as well.  No drain and so far no problems.

I have 5. One tiny one right under my bra line,  5 inches below that one I have one right above my belly button, 2 on my left side and one on my right. Also I know there are some internal incisions as well. I felt great right afterwards too but then started to feel funky week 2. I know there are a lot of people though who never felt like they even had surgery though. Hopefully you will be one of those people. :)

I had 5 but some surgeons now can do it with 1 and sometimes a drain

 4 or 5 is most common and they are starting to do a similar surgery with no incisions going thru the throat

 but there all small a fade away mostly within a year

 and most people will need plastics in the future to remove extra skin and they will remove the scars if there are any

most people feel pretty  good after 2-3 days but it takes about a month till your feeling really good , mostly tired before than

I have 6 incisions...no drain. There's 1 in my belly button and then I call the other 5 my rainbow of scars. They are in kind of an arc across my abdomen. They are all very small (maybe 1/4"-3/8") except one of them...it's about 3/4". The big one is the one he took my excess stomach out of. They are getting harder to find though! I don't scar very easily so they are fading nicely.

4, plus 1 for the drain. I'm only 5 weeks out so mine aren't pretty, but I'm hoping time fades them :)
