The stitching in the second one is a little rougher to see than in the first. I can see now why people hurt. The stitches look brutal.

Thanks. That was extremely informative. I am going to show it to my husband tonight. It certainly explains a lot. I am not squeemish so it didn't bother me a bit. I was actually surprised that there wasn't more blood. The gross factor was seeing the fat and knowing that's what the inside of my body is full of!
