"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!!!!!!!!

Holly cow!!!!!!!!!u have a GREAT TUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!Im speachless....u have .just givin me so much hope. What was ur # before u went for surgery. Mine is pretty low, 32. And just so u know girl, i love what curves u have left in your hips, u look hot HOT H-O-T!!!!!!!!

Good job Nana, I don't mind at all! Yep, but if you can cut and paste into the original message my "information" about my incisions I would appreciate it! It really does look like bruising and isn't.

And I think it is important to note that this is MY belly, it kinda sounds like your 12 day post op pic.

And I must say, wha a pretty belly you have! I would NEVER guess that you are 215!

And bandit, does that mean I look like crap? ha ha ha

Jenna, your scars look good, try using a little rubbing alchol it will take some of the yellow and sticky stuff off around the outside of the incision. I used it on mine at 2 weeks post op and they cleaned up beautifully and Nana You do look great at 215, would of never thunk.

Jenna, I know this may sound funny, but where are your boobs? Are you lying down taking that pic?

The scar that is highest on my stomach is kind of thick, should I put Mederma on it to help it heal flush to the skin, its starting to worry me, and my scars are still pink, I had my suregry in Nov., should they still be pink or should they have turned white already?

I am holding up Laverne and Shirley (my boobies) in the pic. And it is very close up. Plus, they are still perky and dont hang much at a DD.

Sexy panties probably would help ha ha. But alas, I can't be outdone!! Next time I will put on da' thonggggg! Watch out!

a thong and pasties. You could change your name to princess in the pasties :) . But maybe that is another thread all together???~Mandy

Have you changed the batteries in your scales lately, I think they must be stuck, I can't believe you weight 215. Looking good!

Oh yea, I used goop off to get my tape residue off. Just go lightly with it and don't get it in your incisions.

LOve the thread ladies- this is truely good to see how things are healing.

Jenna yours look like they will be perfect in just a few weeks - I can't believe how fast they are healing!!

Nana- Well DAM Girl - Yours scars are the very last thing anyone would be looking at;0) You look Smashing! Is the port # 4 on you-I am just wondering if thats the one. I can see its the same spot has Jennas but can barely tell? Is it #4?

I made this thread a sticky. I am out of town and have no way to post my scars or I would. I will do that when I get home.

wow jenna just 12 days and your scars look good.. barely nothing... they look like little scratches.. and im glad its not bursing around them...

Nana.. You sexy thing you!! almost time to pull that bikini out eh? lol

here is my most recent picture of the incisions and scars. I am now 3 weeks post band (scars are only 21 days old). And..... I got out my sexy red thong and bra for you guys!!
