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!!!!!!!!

ok i am going to try to post some pics of my incisions.wish me luck. these were taken 2 days post op. i am not sure how they will turn out. maybe a mod can look at them and help me to display them so they aren't so distorted.

thanks you guys!!

Man..... those are so close I almost feel like I am going to go INSIDE of them! Whewwwwwww!

But looks like you are healing great!!!

I know I know all.... I need to post more pics of mine. But you can barely even see them!!

i took this photo 2 days after my surgery

Heres an update.. not to bad =) i can definately say gallbladder surgery was MUCH easier and better than 2 band surgeries in the same week!!!

Edit: gallblader scars at this point are about 10 days out

Hi, Great topic!!, great pictures!! Thanks for the inspiration.

I have a question; I know the port is on the ab muscles beneath the skin; but what happens to the port when you reach your goal weight, and you have the kind of body that stores most of the fat in the legs and butt, with almost no fat between the muscle and skin in the ab area (washboard abs) how do you hide the port then?

Hi CancunGirl,

There was a thread about this last week that you might like to read. It can be found here.

Okay, here is my 5 month post op picture. One of these days I am actually going to have to pose for one. I SWEAR I can't tell a difference in my size from the first post op pic but I know I am down sizes and 40 lbs, so oh well.

I am Six Weeks Post-op tomorrow (anything not underlined is a mole ):

This Picture is 2 days after surgery... not too bad I think...

If I can figure out how to post pictures I would share.. ANYONE???

1 day post op...

6 weeks post op. They are all healed up but for some reason so very red...

I was fortunate and only have 4. My port is the low one all the way to the left where my skin is still kind of discolored.

5 days after surgery - hope I don't have to go through any metal detectors until I get these out!

Dear God! Staples?! I was leaning towards Dr. Barker until I saw staples ....just more scars to go along with the cut scars? I know there's a reason that he uses them, and those teenie scars are NO comparison for the goal. For those of you whom had staples, can you really see the staple marks now that you're healed?

I didn't have staples? I'm noit sure who's pictures you're looking at. I had internal stitches and on the outside all i had was second skin glue holding it closed. I used Dr Wellborn I've never met Dr Davis. But feel free to email me any time. LvCnqursal@aol.com

I meant Baker not davis but then I reread it and you said Barker not baker sorry I'm not all here.I think I need to go eat. SORRY!
