I'm Sorry Margo I did not forget you, You did not post for the week 9/19 I gave everyone until Tuesday noon when I logged in after Birthday shopping for my daughter to post their stats. again I'm Sorry Nana~

Greetings Everyone! Posting the stats for the Week~ We have 12 people now. I have removed people from the challenge that have not posted, and a few have left on their own. If you are having issues (Going out of town etc) Just email me or post early. I have been slack on the posting times as far as Mondays go because of the time changes...But Tuesday Morning when I log in to post stats if your not posted your out from now on. :cry This is time consuming and I cant stay here all day waiting on people to post and it isn't fair for people to post mid week or even skip a week of posting and come back and post. Oh and please don't edit your posts it confuses me numbers! :ogre I dont want people to think I'm being a B*t*h but I do want this to be completely fair to everyone~ Thanks, Nana~ Names: ________weight lost______ inches lost Parvathi __________5.6_____________2.0 Road Queen_______2.0_____________1.5 I'llsucceed________4.0______________1/4 Landry's Dad______5.0_____________3.0 piercedqt78_______4.0_____________5.0 chichigirl_________+3.5____________4.5 Marimaru_________0______________1 1/4 vinesqueen________2.0_____________1.0 corinne___________7.0_____________7.0 Kimber-lilly_______8.5_____________2.0 bubbame20022003__1.0____________1.5 La_madam_________0______________N/A

Here is princess_n_thep "Here is Princess_n_Thep remarks on this picture" princess_n_thep: 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!!!!!!!! princess_n_thep
