Picture of my ACTUAL Surgery! (In My Album Too Rotated View)

Sep 23, 2009

Ok I know it's not for the faint of heart but I love this stuff.  I am beyond addicted to Discovery Health and TLC and glued to every medical show possible so none of this grosses me out.  So sorry if you viewed and got queesy.  It wouldn't let me put a caption on to say BEWARE.

So anyway the photo is the actual progression of my band being put in place in 4 steps.  I was extremely excited to get this photo from my Dr.  He promised he'd take a pic of my liver and there it is.  All cleaned up from my 14 days of pre-op liquid hell.  Bye Bye fatty liver! 

Plus, I wanted to be sure, for as much pain as I had after the surgery taking double time, that my damn band was there!  I have the proof.

For any of you who ever wondered what the band looked like on a real stomach, you've got your medical education from my profile today! 

I have to admit, I am proud and get excited over this picture.  A little nutty I know but hey, it's my journey and having this little piece is my evidence, my indication of that "TOOL"

I hope anyone else there who has the band is able to get the same type of pics.  If not, I'd ask!  Not sure how they'd show other surgeries since band is the only one using an object but never hurts to find out! 

Whoo Hoo LOVE PICTURES!
