I saw Dr today.  He said the dents are internal stitches he uses to pull the skin close to the muscle, as they dissolve, the skin will smooth out.  He does this so there is no room for the fluid to accumulate thus he doesn't use drains which he tries to avoid to minimize infection, recovery time and pain.

It is looking better already and cant wait for the final results.  I will post more picts in a few weeks.

I could not imagine living the rest of my life with the hanging skin on my tummy.  The arms, legs, loss of boobs and saggy butt I will just have to live with.

I think you still have some puffiness that will go down given time - you'll have awesome abs in a few weeks methinks.

How are you feeling?  That really has to be a painful op - more so than lap WLS I suspect.

Yea more pain than the RNY, but I think most of it is the hysterectomy - feels internal.  Abs are numb and sore lol
