Laura' date=' so you have "war wounds". The belly and hips are cute, so a good trade IMHO![/quote']

Lol I would say you too will get cute hips soon..

But I guess they wouldn't look so good on a man :P

Mine pretty much match yours Laura-v. Except I still have 70 lbs to lose so my belly is bigger. :-/
I still have some to go too and something tells me the belly will get more and more squishy as it goes. But I like the "war wounds" that Arts said. I have been through life and these are part of my tale :)

They are not that bad I think. Have you used scar cream at all?

I've used mederma but not often enough I guess to make a difference.

I'm five months out. I have issues with my skin not healing well' date=' and I'm allergic to steri-strips and bandaid adhesive so they had to use just glue on me. I have a few spots that have bigger scars from scabs versus just the lines of the incisions. But I agree with laura-ven in terms of not trading them for being fat! I think I have stretch marks from fat that are worse than some of the scars. And they'll fade, or I will continue to not care. My flabby arms are going to be more of an issue (flying south could be an option)... and I'm working out regularly :)[/quote']

I'm allergic to adhesive too and had to be glued. One of my incisions got infected and didn't close. It has left a really big scar. The other five are fading nicely I am three months out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
