"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!!!!!!!!

Nana, did you say you're 209 presently???? Where are you carrying the weight??? You look sooo slim!!! I am 202 (down from 235) and 5'8" tall but I have way more tummy (smile). Keep up the good work!!!

Nana, you ROCK!

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!!

Kuddos Jenna - you look fabulous - I see an amazing transformation from your post surgery photo. Keep up the great work! This increasing my confidence - thanks. I have surgery July 27th.

Here's my pasty white chubby belly with pretty nice-looking scars at 7 weeks
