"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!!!!!!!!

I miss all the old pics, heh, anyone have more to add? What do/did you use on your scars? I've been using Neosporin's Scar Solution. Mikey hasn't been using it on his (typical male). I think I can see a difference between ours... though time will tell, of course.

I was asked to bring this thread back from the deletion cavern by the starter.

So enjoy

Wooohoooo!!! Thanks Penni! Feel free to delete the "new" one... oh, except there might be some new posts on it. :/ ... sorry to make more work for you!

Not more work I can just merge them. Not a big deal at all.

You rock! And I'm doing the happy dance to have this thread back! :party: (I know it's weird, lol, but I like it!)

I didnt use anything on them.

Sometimes theres days that they do this weird swell thing and sometimes they turn a lil purpley others they look like that weird and I dont know why.

Tellymelly, you're gorgeous!! That hair & your eyes, wow! :confused: (Mikey, you're not allowed to look at her pics! Heh.)

Hehehe. Oh stop. It's weird but I was going to say that I have never, ever seen soo many BBW women, cept for my Lane Bryant Catalogue, ever in one place before.

Ty sweets! Too too kind! Too purdy as well.

I agree with janetc, telly you are very pretty. You will be trouble at 135 lbs. lol. We are a bunch of hotties aren't we ladies. oh and gents.:confused:

OMG I can't believe I didn't see how dirty the mirror was before I took this pic. :P :brick: :nono:

Here's the layout, and below are close-ups.

My port is under the band-aid. Here's a close-up. You can see the fresh needle prick from today, and to the right and a little up the one from 3 weeks ago. It's the spot that looks like a discolored/bruised pore.
