Anybody else have previous stomach surgeries before their WLS?

I have had both my gallbladder and hiatial hernia surgery laproscopicly done. Now I have alot of scar tissue inside the adbomen. I hope the dr can remove it while he is in there.

Hi, Yes I've had 3 other surgeries. Belly looks like 3 drunks on a Sat. night laid it out LOL. Are you having Lap or open? I was advised to go open because of my surgery history. The Offishal Court Jester : AKA Betsy

That is why I had open. I had a laparoscopic scope for diagnosis in 1981, laparoscopic surgery in 1998 for removal of my gallbladder and 2 laparoscopic procedures for stress incontinence in 2002. The surgeon wanted to look around and she said it all looked good. My mini laparotomy incision is only about 3.5 inches long and doesn't look any worse than the little "holes" left by laparoscopy.

Four C-Sections and a Gall Bladder for me! I'm also going open for that reason. Gayle Queen of Yarn Balls
