State: NJ | How many incisions did you wind up with after surgery?
I have 4 incisions, and I thought I'd wind up with 5. Do most people have 5 or 4 or a different number?? Just curious! :)

4 small, 1 large here.. runs in a crescent from an inch below the middle of my breast, down the left to my side.
My doctor said he does more incisions (it might have been 1 more incision for me he said), depending on the size of the person.. bigger you are, more incisions that need to be made.

I have 9 and even though I was under anesthesia I am pretty sure I did hear the doctor say "oops" quite frequently. Just kidding. 5 here.

State: TX | I have 4 scars, the port scar being about 3-4 inches above my belly button and the longest (just a hair under an inch in the front) and the next one over on my left (almost to my side) under my ribs and measures just under 1/2 inch and one under my braline in the center which is probably under 1/4 inch and then last but not least towards my right side and measures also under 1/4 inch. Those last two are so small that it's difficult to tell that they are even there. I was very pleased with how small my incisions/scars were. It seems that many of the mexican banded patients like me have the port in the front. I think there was a study on here about that. So far, so good and I've been banded almost 10 months.

I have 5. Haven't really had a good look at them b/c I still have my steri-strips on them, but I have 4 small ones (one of those is hidden in my belly button), and one longer one that is for my port. Not sure how long it is yet...can't wait for these steri-strips to come off!!!
