Hi everyone, Can someone please help me, im fairly new to this site.
I am 24 years old, have had my Gallbladder removed last year and diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). Which makes you gain a lot of weight and on top of that its verrry difficult to get pregnant. i have tried dieting but that doesnt last long i always loose the weight but gain double of what i had lost. Ever since my gallbladder surgery i have gained a lot more. I have always been on the heavier side but not as much. Currently i am 220 pounds and my height is 5'1. I have doctors appointment on the 5th for a consultation for the lap band. I am kind of scared bc i have heard a lot of negative things.
Can someone please give me advise? What has been your experience like?

THESE PICTURES ARE 12 DAYS POST OP!
Both pictures show the very minmal scars/incisions. The bruising I had was very minimal. The brown/yellow rings you see around the actual incisions is NOT bruising but is the leftover "superglue" still. I take a shower EVERY day and wash them but they are slow to come off. From what I gather, they "glue" the incisions, let that dry, then put a "coating of glue" over and around the incisions again. The scab had just fallen off on the top incision so it is a little pink, my bra had scuffed it off. The only real bruising i got was the one top of the belly button. The one that was the most sore was the longer port incision.
I am VERY happy with the size of them and the expertise in the cut! I know that I am a fast healer but I expect that I would be hard pressed to find the smaller ones in 6 months. I will just keep posting updates on this thread as I go along. I plan to take another picture at 6-8 weeks post op, another at 6 mo, then another at a year.
ENJOY MY BELLY!!!!!!!!
