Surgery date Jan 12, 2009. This pic was taken by my dad when he brought me home Jan 14.

Thank you for showing your incision placement, I was on the Realize website and saw the animation, but this is much better to see where the incisions actually are on a person. I will be having surgery sometime this year. Best of luck to you on your weight loss.

good luck to you. My only issue with surgery was the gas used to create space while they operated. I think they under estimate the pain involved. It was far more than "discomfort" for me. Just know that the gas pain will go away and it may take as longs as 4 or 5 days. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me again.
