AshleySkinnyer 7 Posted March 4, 2013 You got it. Just didnt wanna gross anyone out. Gotta say' date=' it's one of the best pics of it I've seen. I looked for shots like this when I was PRE op and didn't find anything. Is it teeny tiny? I can try to make it bigger somehow. I'm on my phone and sometimes it posts itty bitty.[/quote'] I can see it. Thats cool. I want a pic of mine. Im getti.g aleeved next week. Seems kinda big but idk how big they should be? My good friend did hers a year ago and her doc told her hers was big to. Now shes A Hot mamma AshleySkinnyer PortlandOR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 4, 2013 Most drains only remain in a couple days and I didn't even know I had one until I checked out my tummy. Never bothered me and it only felt weird coming out but not painful. They just sterilize the area pull it out and sterilize the area again and close it. Piece of cake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julielle 199 Posted March 4, 2013 They didn't close my drain hole, they said it would close on it's own. No steristrips or anything on it. I put a bandaid on it for a few days because I didn't want to get blood on my clothes, it took about 5 days for the hole to completely close on it's own. It's my smallest scar now, it's not nearly as raised as the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leleboo 104 Posted March 9, 2013 I went to my pre op visit on Tuesday and my surgeon said that they don't test the portion of the stomach that they remove so my picture should look different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
