Staple or Stitch with the laproscope
I'm concerned about how they will close up the incisions from the laproscope. Stitch or staple...How bad is it when they are removed??

I'd like to know this too. How noticeable are the little scars after they heal? How big are they? I heard 1/2 inch.

I had neither, and one of these was a wound drain. All I had was large steri strips which will eventually fall off after about 10 days.
I have had two laps before, and while Doctors can tell where they are, I cant see them at all (after a few months) so there is no problem at all with scarring.

I had glue with my last LAP in March, that was a different Dr but I assumed I will have glue again. Now that I think about I guess this will be bigger incisions to remove more. I guess I will know more tomorrow when I get home from the castle.

I had only steri strips with my lap in August. Been 6 weeks and occasionally when I bend over I get a slight pain in my belly button. That incision was more bothersome than the lower one. I don't know if there was and glue or anything else internally.

While we're on this topic, what do your incisions look like? Would you still feel comfortable wearing a bikini?
TIA,
Cindy

Kklee.
I had a lap done in March and afterwards they superglued the incisions together. I had to incisions one below the bikini line and the other at my naval. To be honest you cannot really see either of them. The one in my navel is kind of hidden the other does not show.
I found they healed really quickly
