Okay I found these few pictures taken the day of the surgery after I had come to. I really wanted to see what things looked like underneath the coverings so I managed to take a peak. This is what things looked like...

Today I went to see Dr. B and the corner stitches were really bothering. The skin wants to close but the stitches were in the way so the skin was getting a little irritated. I called the office at 9: 30 am and as always they were super especially Christina who is Dr. B's receptionist. She told me to come in and they would clip the stitches for me. By 10:30 am I was in their office, they took me right in and the stitches had not dissolved fast enough so they did clip them for me.

Everything is healing very nicely, no separation but there is still some natural swelling. I'm still wearing the binder and I'm massaging the scar and my tummy to help reduce the swelling. I have also been very curios as to how much skin was cut and I really wanted to see what it looked like. So, here it is! This was enough to make me think twice about putting bad food in my mouth again. I'm tempted to put this up in my refrigerator as a reminder to never eat garbage again.

This has been an amazing experience and I'm so thankful that I chose Dr. B. So far zero complications and this has forever changed my life for the better. The only thing I have to do next is work on my patience. I wish the swelling went down faster but it will take several months.

Thank you, I've read that things get better as time goes on. I'm worried the abdomen area will not go down but I'm hoping it does. Just a little anxious but so far so good.
