Congratulations, Patty. Do you mean cause of the laproscopic incisions that you look like you've been shot? That advice about walking around the house was good. Take it slow & you'll do great!

Yes, Karen, I meant the lap incisions. I had my gall bladder out lap about 10 years ago and those scars cleared up nice, I am sure these will too.

The bruising is almost gone, my inscissons so small I cant imagine they will ever look bad in years to come.

Welcome to our world! I am so happy for you! I am so thankful I had the surgery done and that God provided the wisdom for them to make this wonderful new tool to help me lose weight. You will be sore for a while, but this too shall pass. Take it easy and please do exactly as the doc ordered on the diet and exercise, it is so worth it. I will keep you in my prayers that you will heal speedily. Take care!

I feel pretty good. My stomach hurts when I stand up, but I think that might be getting better too.

I keep walking around in circles, I have a really small house, its way to icy for me to venture walking outside. I would never be able to get up if I fall!!
