Port area puffiness will stick around for a while. Just look for signs of infection, and as long as it's fine, the swelling will go down. Battle wounds!!!! yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Does anyone know how long does it actually take for scars to not be noticable anymore? I am wondering when I can start wearing my bikini!! just kidding!

I am 6 1/2 months out of surgery and my scars are still red and look a lot like scottygyrl's scars, is this normal? shouldn't they be white by now?? And what bothers me the most is that the scar in the center is raised quite a bit, maybe I too should try that mederman stuff?

3 weeks post op, and not even ready to post pics. I will tell ya that liquid vit E is wonderful for the scars. Nurse recommended at the hospital got mine at Target' for a couple bucks. just wash, then rub on the scars it is excellent, hold on gotta look at my scars,port site is only one you can see clearly others look like Nana's 9 month shot.

What so ya know the vit oil must work try it if you get a chance. I will try and post soon. maybe I look nothing like Nana unfortunatly!!

Here are my 2 months after surgery pictures of my scars. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. I am just now starting to see some changes. This is about 32 lbs gone now.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
