OK, so I don't have and likely will NEVER have a "bikini body" I wanted to share with you a stomach picture of the bandages. I have 5 small slits that were cut, the biggest is where the "port" is where the doctor will inject saline to tighten the band. Also, because I was given some sort of a blood thinner I guess I had a hemmorage when they took the IV out.......lovely eh????? That's my left arm on the right. The port is under that large bandage on the left there.
