    Looks great! Who did your surgery, and where are your scars? You can't even see them!! I am most likely going to have to do the same thing!

    The scars are there. They put them in a hidden spot and it's not a straight line more like a bunch of s curves.

    I used a surgical team in Jupiter Fl. 20140512_190313.jpg Here r the scars.

    The tummy didn't hurt. They installed a pain pump. The arms were a bit painful but honestly more uncomfortable than painful. I had 3 maybe 4 days where I was pretty miserable.
