In fact, that's where the name lapband came from. On very rare occasions a doctor will need to open the patient, and I know I signed a consent saying that the doc could if need be, but that is very rare. dan -- " It's OK to be a little broken, everybody's broken in this life " Jon Bon Jovi Dan Lester, Boise, Idaho, USA www.mylapband.tk Banded 4/27/03, Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana Started at 355, at goal in the 210-220 range for almost 4 years Ultimate goal of 195 Tummytuck in Boise and SmartLipo in Tijuana ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 My port incision is about two inches above and to my right of my belly button. I have another slightly smaller incision about two inches above and to my left of my belly button. I have two very small incisions that are right where my pant waist band is and then one very small one that's at the very top of my belly and in the center. I did have a few problems with the waist line ones, but now, six weeks out, they are healed well and I've got no problems. I go to the doctor on Thursday to decide if I need my first fill or not. Right now, I can eat about half of what I could before surgery. I've lost 29 pounds in six weeks.

I've never understood why any of the incisions would be put that low on the belly. The band isn't down there, and it doesn't make sense to put the port down there. Well, I'm assuming that the waist line means around the belly button, not somewhere else. Sandy, is there any medical/surgical reason you know for an incision to be that low? Especially the port? dan -- " It's OK to be a little broken, everybody's broken in this life " Jon Bon Jovi Dan Lester, Boise, Idaho, USA www.mylapband.tk Banded 4/27/03, Dr. Ortiz, Tijuana Started at 355, at goal in the 210-220 range for almost 4 years Ultimate goal of 195 Tummytuck in Boise and SmartLipo in Tijuana ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
