Thank you so much for your kind words! You made me smile :-)
I don't have any pictures of my scars- I'll see what I can do. I can tell you though that the only scar that is visible is the one where the port was placed. I am now nine months post op and the scar is about 1 1/4 inch long. It is a little bit wider than most as I developed "keloids" Keloids are actual scar tissue that forms because the body over-defends itself as a result of trauma or surgical incisions. I was told it usually happens on people with dark skin but as you can see by my pics i am pretty pale and it happened to me. Oh well, I will take it over being heavy ANYTIME! Now that I am down 75 lbs my port protrudes just a little bit. If I wore a bikini and you were looking for it- you could see it protrude. Otherwise, you can't notice it. Again....I will take it over being heavy.
So when is your surgery? Have a great day and hope to chat with you later!
Sincerely,
Shannon
