I wish I knew how to put multiple pics side by side, but, I have no clue how to do that :-( Here I am 35 days out from surgery.

I won't post a pic here since I am incapable of simple photo editing work without my husband's assistance and he is out of town. However, I do show off my scars (2 months post op) in Episode 2 of my video blog (linked below).

That's only 3 of my scars. The other two are hidden by my bra. These are about 10 days post-op. Sorry it's not very clear.

Amanda scars


Here are my scars one week out and 7 weeks out. I don't see much difference. The smiley is what I drew on my tummy for the surgeon to find. The shamrock is because I am a Shrinking Shamrock banded in March.
I had very little bruising. I did use Arnica Montana.

You can get rid of those black adhesive marks with 'liquid bandage' Just smear some on and it rubs off really easy.
