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!!!!!!!!

Mine look worse that that want2lose. I am completely bruised like purple .... plus have the scars. It has only been 8days and the purple is now turning to yuk yellow but it looks bad however if I am thinner then it will be worth it in the long run. I am tired of being fat even though I dress nice I did not like what I saw.. Brendab

Alot of this weight stuff is how you view ones self, I was always told I was pretty but if I just lost a couple pounds..(by so called Friends) I over compenasated for my weight with all the extras makeup, nails, hair, great clothes and designer shoes/purses. and of course my bestest friend JEWERLY..

We are BEAUTIFUL in our husbands/ wives eyes and we are all loved so right there is half the battle. I know very skinny woman who would just die to be in our shoes. and most of all GOD loves us and he created our free will to eat and the doctors have given us a new chance on becoming healthier not just thinner.

God bless,

off to do some "work" outside the home at the law office.. of course today I am sicker than a dog with allergies.......:sick

oh well have a happy day

My DH keeps laughing at me that I even care about the scars. Given that most my mid section is totally covered with a million stretch marks, whats a couple little scars thrown in there. I guess I wished they were lower so if I get a TT they would be even lower or gone all together.

I am a bruised mess. Purple and yellow and totally yuck.:phanvan

I too am a bruised mess and it has been 12 days.It is getting better but the area where the port is now has red bumps but no infection. I think I may have an allergy to the tape. Brendab

The full size me is the day before my surgery. Then I have one a couple days after the surgery with my steri-strips and band-aids. Like the Hello Kitty?

Then, I have a pic a couple of weeks after where I accidentally ripped open a part of my incision and had to put a steri-strip back on. I'm about 2 1/2 months out now.

I love the Hello Kitty BandAids!

Keep Up The Goos Work Brandy W.

Thank you for posting your picture. truly inspirational.

I am 200 and 5'4". I am still trying to think if it will be good for me. I want to be 120.

After your surgery, how was your eating? Any bad symptoms?

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.

WHERE CAN YOU GET SOME OF THAT VITAMIN 3 OILS?
