kmorgan Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 How many incisions do they need to make for plication? Also, how big are the incisions and where do they make the cuts? Do we get a drainage tube as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktb2904 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Not sure where you are having your surgery done, I had my at OCC. I had 4 incisions which were about 1/3 of an inch or less, and one which was 1 inch. I believe that the doctor used a surgical glue verses sutures and it washed off about the 10-12 days after surgery. I could shower the day after surgey. I didn't have a drian, and I am so happy I didn't. I think it may depends if the surgern decides to use one. None of the 3 other gals who had their surgery done when I was there didn't have drains either.. It may also be the type of WLS you have, from what I have learned since my surgery VSG and BY Pass surgeries do use drains. Hope this helps....definately ask your surgeon so you know what to expect..
