Honestly, I think once the bruising goes away and the extra blood is cleaned off - and I have stitches so when those are gone it will look alot better. Hard to really see cuz my boobs are in the way but that's my rationalization anyway.

LOL you will be fine!

you have stitches? I only have glue. But you are right they will be fine. And mine will be too once I put aloe vera on them.

Funny you should ask, Nicole, cuz I have no idea. Just what I was told when I was little so it just always "was". Because I've had it as long as I can remember, I assume you are born with it. My father use to get many blood transfusions for it - I never have. never will! So, for me, this doesn't really look bad. That is until I see somebody elses LOL

[AudsMom 2]

So where is everyone:)

How exciting for both of you, i cant wait to start watching ur tickers:D

Candra your stomach doesn't even look bloated. I look like I'm about 6 mos pregnant. All that damn gas Dr P left in.

Hi Ladies, yep, u gals are feelin better, cause u rested all day, and now ready to roll! Your incisions, look pretty clean, that bruising will go away quick, Candra, but be careful with the soap, even if its family (germs). Wanna keep them as clean as possible. So glad u ladies are a walkin well with Water and west!(rest) Get em Nicole, like the online nursing staff hehe...love you ladies, and glad you are banded and ready to roll (not on the port)lol.

Hey Donna! It's liquid soap. funny cuz my brother and husband both use bar soap and they have their own individual soaps in travel containers in the shower. I only use Dove soft soap (liquid) because it's the gentlest on my skin, I can only use dove deoderant too or I get lumps under my arms - I'm just so weird.

Jes, it is swollen, I can feel it - the whole upper section is but you're right, not bloated or full of gas - seriously, NO GAS. Are you sure you passed the pregnancy test LOL

I do look like I've been assasinated though hahahaha

[smallerj 2]

the monokini will be just fine for you. I told you I have a dot to dot candy cane.

Don't worry my shop is closed no more babies for me .

Gosh my tummy is growling away but I'm not hungry. I can't believe I had a popsicle for dinner and I'm happy.

[Desperate1 1]

I had Water for dinner - like I said, all of a sudden I feel this pressure in the center of my boobs and about an inch down - don't want to eat or drink anything! i think I'm loving this band thing already LOL.. Hopefully, when I weigh myself in the morning I'll be smaller than 197

[AudsMom 2]

Isnt the meals right now just amazing!?!?! :biggrin:

[smallerj 2]

I don't feel my band yet, only the port. I drink and everything goes down like before. Maybe by Saturday I'll feel something like you. I even took my pills today, no problem.

[Desperate1 1]

Sure is! Unfortunately, I know it won't last so Im gonna ride it out as long as i can LOL
