I don't have update pics, but a verbal update. In my scar pics, especially the band/port scar, there's a small amunt of keloiding. Not out of control, but definitely not flat like the others. Since taking those pics, the left third of the keloid went down. A few weeks later I looked down one day and noticed that the right third of the keloid had gone down too. Now it's weird - I have a "normal" scar, with just the middle third of it raised up. My fingers are crossed that this, too, goes down some day. :)

City: Jacksonville State: Florida | 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.

State: Kentucky | 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?
