how long is your open rny incision

I knew my incision from my open RNY was quite long, but I have been reading that other posters with open RNY had incisions that were anywhere from 2.5 to 10 inches in length. Mine is 17.5 inches long !! It starts between my breasts and ends close to my pubic area. I didn't think too much of it until I saw others post about theirs. Anyone else been cut that far? Maybe that is why I thought I was in so much pain immediately post op when others thought it was a breeze? Theresa
