:) I'm excited for you. Thank you for commenting, it makes me happy to know that this has helped someone along their journey. It's been about two years and I've never regretted my decision. How are you feeling now? Would you say that your results so far are similar to mine, as far as the looks of the incisions?

Thank you. Yes, I'm glad the pictures helped. My husband was a little uneasy, and he grimaced when I first showed him the incisions. But, needless to say it all turned out perfect, and he's a happy man, LOL.

Wow, you look great. From the back, your shoulders are really emphasized. Very nice. Congrats.

@Huntsville: I gained about 6lbs or so and not in those areas. My clothes will always fit differently as the contouring changed my shape, as expected. I love it, and I would do it all again, yes it was worth it.

@Jade: Congrats! Keep us posted.

@doityourself: Well, they are posted. I think you just click on the pictures above and they enlarge in a new window. Make sure your pop up blocker is off.

I used mederma, about 2 bottles, kept it bandaged for a long time and moisturized, then used something similar to "new skin" over the scars to aid in the healing of the scar. It's like a bandage that acts like skin. Its sold at local stores. Not sure this all helped, but I've been happy.
