Scar Stages Share yours!

bumping for newbies....

Okay, I posted this one on my back from banding whatever it's called thread and it was taken the day after banding, still have steri-strips and band-aids on...I tried to take an update the other night but was holding the camera myself and it just wasn't working...anyhow...let me go find it...OH MY GOSH!! Look at you Jenna! and you know what sucks? Nana at 215 and me at 223...what a difference! I'm so jealous of you guys...this is turning into a pretty belly thread (well, 'cept for me) instead of a scar thread!! That's okay, it's awesome!

Here is my pic. Can't see one of my scars. I had to look at my belly to see mine anyway. The only one that is still easy to see is the port incision. But even it is not bad. I have been banded a whole year.

Pinni, are the scares above the black lines, or are the black lines actually covering ur scars. I think I can see a scare above the black line where ur port must be, otherwise I cannot even see ur other scares.

Just above the lines and dots.

Christina, being banded is just part of Penni's cover story! She's an internationally renown spy and celebrity pharmasist! (Dangeresque, Dangeresque!)

I've gotta get my pix developed... went out and bought a disposable camera just so I could have pix of my tummy... (my digital camera didn't make it with me into exile...)

My scars are still bright red lines, and several of them are still irritated from the glue and steristrips. I have very sensitive skin...

Crystal and Christina: SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! You are blowing my cover. Geez can't even get good spies these days. LOL!!!

I can attest that those pics of my scars really don't show them well but it was all I had at the time. Just come and see them in Vegas in Sept. LOL!!

Is it SEPTEMBER YET???

my surgery is scheduled for may10.. I am having second thoughts... any encouragements? Justme

Hey Justme! Welcome!

First do a couple of things. Go to the Introduction Forum and post a new thread with an intro, and don't leave out the good stuff, wer'e nosey! You will get a much better response there than posting here, and everyone will want to say hello to you!

Then, find the "May Bandsters" thread under the Support Forum and post a reply at the end of that thread and give your date and doctor...DebbieDo will add you to the list and we can give you the encouragement you need as your date gets closer.

You came to the right place here at LBT. You will find what you need as soon as you can find your way around in her...don't worry, we'll help you. Send me a Private Message if you want to...double click on my screen name and click "send a private message to the best me" and the form will come up. I will be glad to help in any way, as will anyone else.

Don't panic yet, you have plenty of time to research and ease your mind. Do those things and you will be on your way!
