Recommended Posts

It was a white strip... The 2 big incisions are covered with gauze and then with this plastic wrap over them, the other small ones just had that strip on them... The dr said it was ok if they came off so I guess it's ok, I think they may be glued? I'm on day 4 now and still have horrible gas pains! And I can't even get down one Protein Shake a day....

Yeah, definitely different. Mine simply had gauze Over what was shown. I took it off/changed to shower daily. Feel better! :)

My surgery was 5/6. That picture is old, it was taken two weeks post op. my incisions look great now. I feel great! I'm exercising (walking/jogging 1-3 miles) 6 days a week. Feeling very good, I get my first fill tomorrow (4 weeks post-op). I have no pain from any of my incisions at all.

I'm scheduled for my first fill today. For some reason I'm really nervous. I wasn't nervous about the surgery so this is throwing me for a loop. I thought about canceling the appt but have chosen to ignore whatever is telling me to do that and am just going forward. I know it's for the best, not sure why I'm so nervous?? Happy thoughts sent my way would be appreciated!!

You will do great! First fill was about 2 weeks ago for me. Piece of cake, nothing to it. You'll be relieved once you realize that you worried for nothing :)
