The stitching in the second one is a little rougher to see than in the first. I can see now why people hurt. The stitches look brutal.

This is fantastic..... Thanks for posting this..... This explains why you should drink the liquids before and after... The less fat u have around your liver the better.. and the less u eat after the better you will prob. feel and the faster u will heal... excellent info... thanks again..

Thanks. That was extremely informative. I am going to show it to my husband tonight. It certainly explains a lot. I am not squeemish so it didn't bother me a bit. I was actually surprised that there wasn't more blood. The gross factor was seeing the fat and knowing that's what the inside of my body is full of!
