| My Belly!!
This is 26 days after my surgery. The two larger incisions still have some glue that just doesn't want to flake off. You can see one of my scars from the gallbladder surgery that I had in July '06 (closest one to the top scar). Enjoy looking at my flabby tummy!

Well I have shown my belly more times in the last month than ever in my life, so here it is. Surgery was 12/31/08 My scars are ok, they don't hurt or itch anymore, but look at that weird rash I developed today. It doesn't hurt or itch. My mom is freaking out, so I am going to call the doc tomorrow, but has anyone ever seen that?

I was barely able to remove my own steri strips. I couldn't imagine. You're healing great. Your scars aren't bad at all.

City: Wylie State: TX | I thought I would post comparison pics. I post the second picture in this thread a week after I was banded. I am almost 2 years post op from being banded. I had an abdominoplasty 3 weeks. I am still very swollen from the surgery, but thought it was very cool to see how my band scars and moles have moved after my PS. The port scare was about 5 inches above my belley button. Now it is right next to it. (My one pic was done in the mirror, so it looks likes its on the opposite side)

My scars look more like I've been chopped up then sliced! 2 weeks out today (sorry no pics) and the port one is still ugly. I feel like I was slapped together very quickly. I don't know if its because of all the stretch marks on my stomach. And because of the stretch marks I suppose its really not that big of a deal...but would stretch marks make a difference in how an incision is done? Its healing but its really not neat and tidy looking at all

Sorry, stretch marks should not effect it, I don't believe. I have plenty of them and didn't have any problems.
