Jenna,those scars do look great. I was banded on Nov 30,06,and have lost thirty pounds so far. I was 300 lbs and am now 270 lbs in 4 weeks I have had no problems so far,but my scars do not look as good as yours.

I think this thread is a great idea.

Here are two pictures of me taken right after I got out of the shower 10 minutes ago. This is 2 days after my surgery and I just took the bandaids off.

I'm surprised that the placement of everyone's scars are so different. Mine are pretty much right below the rib cage in the center, but some peoples are all over their stomachs.

Also, sorry that the pictures are such poor quality. Just took them real fast while I was changing with the web cam.

Ooouch!!!

It took guts to post your scars!!!!
Mine are now fading. I had my LP March 06"
Use neosporin while there are open and CICATRICURE or MEDERMA when they heal!! THe scars will be muuuuuch less noticeable afterwards.
Keep it up guys!!! Good job!!!

My bandages have come off except for the incision site. I still have a lot of adhesive that needs to be rubbed off. I am off tobuy some Mederma today. Has anyone had luck with that?

2 weeks post op as of tomorrow.

Do you put anything on the wounds while they are still healing? My port incision is still a little red and I am not sure if I am supposed to "clean" it or leave it alone. I have used a little rubbing alcohol to get the adhesive and yucky crap stuck to it off but I am not sure what else to do.
Any hints or do I call my MD? It is not looking infected so I don't think it warrants a call to the office.

Once wounds are healed, vegetable oil takes off the adhesive easily.

Hey Babygotback,
your scars look great. But I dont understand why you got Lap Band since you are looking pretty "normal"? and your BMI is only 31? Here its very strict and they wont give you the band if you dont have BMI 40 or over 35 with comorbidities even if you are a self pay.
Good luck to you!
