My tummy...
...looks like someone attacked me with a claw hammer, and couldn't decide which side to use! The first time my husbeast looked at it, he just whistled and said "Damn, girl..." (but not in a good way, LOL!) Between the actual incisions and the heparin injection sites I'm a bruised-up mess! Of course, I didn't expect much different, but it's still impressive.
I'm tempted to take a picture for posterity, but then again maybe I should just try to forget about it.

My stomach is a mess too. On top of that, I have a random surgical marking pen line across my right arm.
Go ahead - take a picture. You'll be healed and the bruises gone soon enough!

Dont forget it. Its part of your amazing journey. Yes take pictures because years from now when your tummy is all skinny you will forget what a monster it was. I liked my incisions it made me feel like I really did this. As they healed I knew my sleeve was healing as well.
