Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 > I don't know if Dr K always uses the RNY or VBG incision when he performs DS revisions, but it would make sense to use the same area (unless you had a lap RNY). Mel, Bonnie, Jim, Pat...did Dr. K use your previous WLS incision or go higher/lower?? > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` , He used my old scar,that is why he told my family that I would be in the or for 3 to 4 hrs because of the scar tissue,but I was out in 2hrs,how cool was that??LOL and it did go to by belly button,but he started it out and ending it with my old scar. I did have the 3 buttons on each side,but I really do belive I had steri strips and disposal stiches,I can't remember staples,but then I can hardly remember what I did yesterday also..lol God bless, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 He used my old scar for the DS, then reopened it to repair a leak. He used steri strips first, then steri strips, sutures and buttons.
