I am set for May 3, 2013. Is anyone having Surgery In May?

It was a white strip... The 2 big incisions are covered with gauze and then with this plastic wrap over them, the other small ones just had that strip on them... The dr said it was ok if they came off so I guess it's ok, I think they may be glued? I'm on day 4 now and still have horrible gas pains! And I can't even get down one protein shake a day....

Wow, that's completely different than what I had. Glad it's ok. That stinks, hopefully it gets better soon!!!

That's mine before the one came off... Excuse my swollen tummy lol

Yeah, definitely different. Mine simply had gauze Over what was shown. I took it off/changed to shower daily. Feel better!

Thanks... I'm just trying to do everything right... When was yours done? And how are you feeling?

How do you add a picture like you did? I was going to post my incisions. I have the picture on my phone,I think I can transfer it to the computer.

Steph, I did it from my phone, when your in the reply screen where you type there is a little + sign on the top left corner by the send button... Just click that and just click add picture from camera or phone... It gives some options... I just figured it out this morning lol

Here are my 4 incisions after 3 weeks and 3 days post-op. it gets better!

Here is my incisions 4 days post op, my stomach is still real swollen too, along with the fat I hope to get rid of soon.

My surgery was 5/6. That picture is old, it was taken two weeks post op. my incisions look great now. I feel great! I'm exercising (walking/jogging 1-3 miles) 6 days a week. Feeling very good, I get my first fill tomorrow (4 weeks post-op). I have no pain from any of my incisions at all.

Wow. I have 5 incisions and they are all to the left side. Each dr sure is different

I'm scheduled for my first fill today. For some reason I'm really nervous. I wasn't nervous about the surgery so this is throwing me for a loop. I thought about canceling the appt but have chosen to ignore whatever is telling me to do that and am just going forward. I know it's for the best, not sure why I'm so nervous?? Happy thoughts sent my way would be appreciated!!

You will do great! First fill was about 2 weeks ago for me. Piece of cake, nothing to it. You'll be relieved once you realize that you worried for nothing

Thanks for the encouragement!
