Battle scars

[oldspark 0]

Hi Guy,s

It,s now summer over here in Austraaaaaaalia and i,m going swimming , Water skiing with friends soon.

Friends that do not know ive been banded.

What reason other than banding can i give for my still very obvious surgery scars.

My wife suggested Labotomy ( ? )

Mark:omg:

They remove gall stone laporoscopically (there was a woman in the next hospital bed who had this done when I got my band). You could say you had that done, perhaps

Or you could wear a rash vest and tell them you are super sun conscious? We all know how harsh our Australian sun is!

Good luck!

both of the above suggestions are what i would say. a t-shirt b/c you dont want to get burned or you had your gallbladder out.

I would use Hiatal hernia as the excuse since as you lose weight you may still have to have your gallbladder removed. Of course you could also use exploratory lap surgery for abd pain.

AVOID SOMETHING THAT COULD STILL HAPPEN.

Good luck!

Hiatal hernia surgery has the same incisions. That is the best excuse. Maybe no one will ask! Don't offer an explanation unless you are forced to. Maybe wear a tank shirt.

Tell 'em it was a dueling wound and that you are lucky to be alive.
