PROGRESS PICTURES!

back to
pictures

Alright, just for you all, I took these lovely pictures of me in a shirt
that is way too tight, and I didn't even suck in my stomach at all.

I am being very brave and posting a picture of
my fat tummy, so you all can see my incisions.
This was taken on 6/25/02- 2 weeks post-op.

I have taken off all the steri-strips in this pic.
They are healing pretty well, but I still have to
cover the one in the lower right of the pic
because of drainage. Taken 7/6/02- almost 4
weeks post-op.

This is where they
put most of the
instruments in. It
is still oozing fluid,
so I currently have
to cover it with a
gauze bandage- I
took it off just for
this pic.

This is where
my drainage
tube was

It's hard to see, but most of the incisions'
scabs have fallen off, and the lower right one
has finally stopped draining and has a scab.
Taken 7/22/02- about 6 weeks post-op.

This is what I normally look like, with a shirt that actually fits, sucking in my gut. =}
