I've had both staples and glue.

I had staples when I had my daughter in October 2004 (c-section). You can barely see the staple "dots" but they aren't that bad.

Honestly I was scared because I had glue that my guts were going to fall out or open back up.. funny the things you think when you wake up from anesthesia!

Scar question-I just got banded on 11/29, and I feel great overall. I just have one incision area (right under my left breast) that is really bothering me. This one looks really painful-more of a puncture than a cut-and it hurts whenever I bend or move-is this normal? I had my doctor check them out right after I got back and he said they looked good. Is this normal?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
