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!!!!!!!!

Wheetsin, you have given me hope, because all of my scars are keloids. Maybe mine will go down some too.

Hi Susan, I'm hoping this goes down more. I'll see if I can take some comparison pics tonight.

My scars are very little as well but I was only banded on July 12 it all seems so amazing !!! You guys look great!!!

I really appreciate everyone having the courage and will to post their pictures. Your pictures have eased my mind and empowered me with information. Thank you! :clap2:

[ATTACH]5754[/ATTACH]My scars are healing nicely.

Pretty please!

Me 7 days postop scars

wow thats great! i am yet to have my surgery its the 15th August 2006, so not long now ...i was worried about the scarring now i can see it isnt much to worry about, my stretch mark is scarier than that lol

Help!!! I can't seem to get the iodine stain off of me! I am 8 days post op. Scars are fine---they used the glue stuff. The worst thing about it all wasn't my scars, it was the sticky stuff under my boobies! I guess they duct taped them up during surgery, but it left a whole lot of sticky stuff and my girls kept wanting to stick to my belly! (even more than usual) Did anyone else have that? Also, how can we use scar care cream if we still have the glue on each one? Does the glue really ever come off on it's own...I'm dying to pick mine off, but I won't.

I have another question...a week after surgery, I started finding some new bruises on my belly...I have a big dark purple one behind my belly button...and one near the bottom of my belly. It's like they are from the inside out---which is strange. Anyone else have this?

Wow! Only 21 days? They have healed up nicely! I hope I have the same result....Looks like we have the same build. Thanks for the inspiration!

i went to the doctor the first week after my sergery and asked him how i can lighten the scars. the doctor said use vitamin E, so i went to the store brought a bottle of liquid vitiman E and every night i open the pill up and put the liquid contens of the pill on my scars. let me tell you guys it really dose work. my scars have ligthen up so fast and they are getting lighter each month. so i just wanted to share that with you all

I used the vitamin 3 oils on my 3rd degree leg burns and boy it you don't think that'll take scars AWAY, not just lighten them, your wrong. Anybody that has they're doubts, look at my burn pics I posted. Wow, did it ever work.

What are "vitamin 3 oils"?
