The first pic is three days post-op, and the second pic taken today, at nine days out. The gunky stuff around the scars making them look more red than they are is the surgical super-glue stuff. The top incision has lost its glue, but the others still have theirs. Getting better!

Here is my scar pic from today. I had surgery yesterday.

You have great incisions... those look really good.. dosn't look like you'll have much bruising either.

I hope you are taking care of yourself and walking lots to get ride of the 'gas' pains.

:clap2:

I haven't had my surgery yet but after 2 C-Sections right now my lower belly looks like a big butt with the scar in the middle of it so I don't think these little scars are going to bother me much. I am hoping to have a TT after weight loss and fix the nasty C-section scars though.

Hi everyone.

I was banded last Friday, five days ago. Feeling fine and happy to share my pic (hope it works) I remember how important the visual part was in making my decision.

Just thought I'd share this.. this is my port scar (it was cut open again recently for another surgery, so this was right before).. and how bruised I got after that fill (poked about 10 times).. and the end result is my port was flipped backward!

And that's right after 2nd surgery, a cut over my previous port scar, and a new cut right between the knockers! (The small marks a little bit down from that are scars from the 1st surgery)

I am having the surgery on the 24th of this month. Thanx so much for the pics. It seems that there is almost too much to learn about the band!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
