State: Arizona | Lisa actually is giving me a great idea. The port scar is really the only one to be visible years later, hmmmmmm, what about strategically getting a small little cute tattoo to cover it????
my 6 week photos are coming soon! :)

City: Chicago State: IL | WOW Nana - you're pictures are really encouraging. I'm really concerned about scaring - can you tell me more about your pre & post-diet, exercise and post filling diet since your surgery date last summer?
I'm new and thinking in the introductory stages of the band process. I want to do it, I believe I'm a good candidate - but I'm afraid of the scaring on my belly, being able to return to work right away, negative impact to my sex life, and the ability to exercise. All of these worries are making me quite anxious.
Help -

| Okay, it's still very big, but I get that you have developed a keloid...a build up of scar tissue. I get them too, but haven't on my incisions. I'd get those Mederma Band-aids...that scar healing medicine that you can leave on all day or night with a Band-aid type covering...I'll bet it will flatten out nicely, and the sooner the better.

| Wow Jenna, I'm so busy admiring your pretty bra I didn't even notice the scars! Looking great on healing!
I need to post my 5 weeks scars. They look like cat scratches...but the ones I posted when I got home were covered in steri-strips and band-aids. I never bruised either, hmmm. Gimme a sec and I'll re-post an update, too.

State: Texas | Jenna, you can really see a big change in 7 weeks. You look great. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said my port scar is a little red on the outside and has put me on an antibiotic. He also said it was a bit swollen. I wrote this because Trish mentioned that her scars were red and our surgery dates are very close.
