hi. Hope you're starting to feel on the better side. When I had my second lap he said they do 4 for better acess and removing the things they cut away. I ended up with a 5th as the scar's from two other surgeries got in the way and a 6th for a stomach drain but they have healed well. Hope you are getting plenty rest. Xx

I'm two weeks tomorrow out of surgery and had 7 incisions! They do it to get better access and avoid open surgery :)

I have 4 from my first lap a month ago. It was to help them cut the cyst away etc x
