    As promised, here is a photo of my scars. I am a bit over 7 months out. You will notice that I still have quite a bit of belly fat to lose, but currently I have lost 108 pounds, and weight 171. Here's a bit of bravery on my part, this isn't easy!

    I suppose I will post my scars, I don't have anything you guys haven't seen. =p

    Mine are 3.5 weeks out and I still have a little bruising but I actually quite like them a lot. (Sorry it's so big!)

    wow.. your scars look great. i think that's the trade off for going to Mexico (dr. Almanza) his stitches are big and gnarly. for those wishing smaller incisions, i don't recommend going to Dr. A bc his isn't.

    viviki, i don't know how to post pictures here without it being uploaded on another website first, but the main incision right above my belly button is longer than an inch and the other four are spread apart pretty much covering the most of my tummy... then one of my scabs fell off then realized the skin was pinched together and the scab falling off pretty much tore it apart which revealed a small unclosed wound... sigh* it's probably different person to person but i wasn't happy with my incisions, at all. it's the only thing i regret about my surgery.

    You guys are too sweet. Those jeans are too big that's why I have no muffin top. =p Also I do have stretch marks, they're just silvery and hard to see (in pictures that is).
