Anyone have multiple surgeries over the years before RYN?

I had 3 c-sections, gallbladder and appendix prior to RNY. I didn't have any problems. Good Luck!

Hey,
I have had abdominal surgeries and ended up having open.  It will depend on the person.
Good luck to Mom

I also have had multiple surgeries.....2 c-sections (from belly button down incision), complete hysterectomy (used same c-sections scar), Lap band by laporscopy, 8 months later gall bladder removal by laporscopy and had to use different incisions, then my RNY and it was done laporscopy.  It all depends on the person and what they find once they get in!  Wish your mom luck for us!

I had 2 surgeries when I was a toddler on my kidneys.  The scar is from my belly button down to my hoo hoo.  Then I had 2 c-sections.  They used the same vertical entry.  Then I had an ovary removed.  Same vertical scar.

When consulting for my RNY the surgeon did not think the scarring would be an issue.  The RnY is above the belly button.  I had LAP surgery with no issues.

I had three c-sections and I was fine.
