Pictures from surgery

[gotosleeve 23]

I thought some might want to see what it looks like after you get surgery.. Please dont mind my boobs i made sure no nipples were in the picture. Also it was hard for me to get all wound marks in the picture since i took it myself. I took this today i had surgery may the 4th. So this is 5 days after surgery. I have 6 wounds.

If you have any questions about my journey these first 5 days please feel free to ask.

Thank you for posting this - it really is helpful! My husband was asking what the scars are like, and since neither of us has ever had surgery, we really didn't know!

Great idea to post. When I had my first surgery I had no idea what they would look like. This should be helpful for those who are wondering. Good luck with your journey.

Thanks for sharing, @gotosleeve. Your scars don't look bad at all! I just had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago with similar looking scars. Once I have the sleeve my stomach is just going to be a laparoscopic scar mine field (fingers crossed my insurance will pay, my first consult is Monday). Oh well, seems like a small price to pay for something that will hopefully help change our lives for the better!

Mine looks different I had gastric bypass. I have the 6 scars and then a long one a cross my belly button and about an inch past it. That hurts the most as it is right where my pants hit.
