Pictures In Tj For Those Who Have Yet To Decide

There are just a few, I wanted to take more....but I was a little distracted with surgery lol. But, there are some pics of the hotel and hospital room/bathroom and some of the scenery, just for those that may want to see an actual photo of the hospital. I know they helped me. Just check my profile :P

  • Beautiful pictures. For some reason, I pictured Tj to be some run down place with crowded buildings but everything is actually beautiful. I'm definately feel better.

Yes and VERY clean! It is smaller than US hospital, but everything is clean....hospital is only 2 yrs old.

I amseriously considering getting a revision from lapband to the sleeve. Can you tell me what your incisions are like? How many, how big? I am just so vain!!

Incisions with Dr. Garcia - you have 5 of them....one is very high (it is in between my boobs) and smaller than my pinky nail as well as the one from the drain which is the farthest to my left. The other 3 are almost in a straight line, pretty much in the same area of my stomach about 3.5 inches above my belly button. They are healing nicely and the largest one which is where they pulled my stomach out is approx 1.5 inches or smaller. Ive seen lots of pics of people a few months to years out and you do not even notice them if you arent looking and counting them.

My hubby had laproscopic RNY 3 yrs ago and I literally can not even see his scars. To me, it is a very small thing to worry about compared to being my goal weight for life. Plus, I do plan to have some plastic surgery down the road and I am sure those scars will show more than these.
