I'm on day 4. This is what my belly currently looks like. The two circular bruises at the bottom are the heparin shot sites. I am much less sore today! I'm clearly healing on the inside. It looks worse than it is, I think.

You poor dear...but I didn't have gauze, my doctor used some sort of glue to close mine.

It's OK. I have such a profound sense of peace now. I don't care about being thin, but it's like my body just released the need to crave, at least for a moment. I know I made the right choice for me. Next to that, bruises and soreness are nothing.

@devichan....Thanks for sharing, a pic is really proof of how real this is...so happy for u and your new life, can't wait for my date...

5 days post op..wait for this glue to dissolve ..

Umm, I have huge black & blue bruises EVERYWHERE!? You guys look so good! I had my surgery on 6-7!

I holy have bruises where I got my 5 damn heparin shots..those things hurt like hell!!!

Seriously, Christina....I am so bruised! Your tummy looks great!

How the heck do I attach a pic?

5 hep shots? I only received 1!?

I had surgery this morning around ten.

Yes 5...ughh..my hospital takes a lot of precaution. .which is good cayse they have never had a death or infection..n I also had 4 bags of potassium. .cause I was a lil low before surgery n low potassium can be a cause of a irregular heart beat which can cause a heart attack after surgery..

Yes I would also like to know how u post those pic on here? I like how u did that...a pic is worth a thousand words...:-)
