oh and the stretch marks get lighter and lighter over the years! So they won't always be super obvious. I kind of don't mind mine now because they hide my horrid scars... (2 lapartomies and one c-section)

lol I understand what you mean. For some reason I have a lot of stretch marks on my butt and thighs and a few up my love handles. Those all showed up this summer! They actually do feel like speed bumps! LOL

Oh wow, this is the first time I've browsed this thread, was a little too scared at first! You're all so brave. I'll make sure I take a couple of pics after my lap!

Atherhel...keep in mind that my belly button may look like this as it was my 5th lap surgery. I have ALOT of scar tissue in that area.

I've just realised I don't really have any post-surgery pics. I'll get a pic of my tummy as it is now, cos it's a little more interesting than it was after my first surgical lap, the scars are a little more gnarly. And a tummy pic that I took the day before my diagnostic lap, cos I thought my stomach would be all scarred and disgusting. Scars fade, thats the most important thing to remember. Bio oil is great!
