Do NOT watch you-tube videos of the procedure. With any luck you will have tiny port holes and still be able to bust out your bikini! Be strong!

To be honest... 3 days after surgery I was walking to the store to buy a Gatorade. After I got home I only took 2 pain killers. That was for sleeping because I like to roll on my side. Additionally, the scars don't look bad at all. Having this removed was the best choice of my life.<br />I wish you the best of luck!Eates-A-Lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281895070072901485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399651887896621732.post-6845055985476773412011-06-07T16:11:00.238-04:002011-06-07T16:11:00.238-04:00At least it's something fixable!
