Pre-op pictures

[afidz]

I wanted to put a before picture of my stomach to show the severity of the hernia. I have always been a little pudgy, but what you are looking at is the entire hernia in its glory. This was taken at a relaxed state. The front view picture is of all the scarring from the previous 13 surgeries. most of the discolored skin is dying, it will have to be cut out during surgery.

I have been deformed for so long I can't remeber what is feels like to have a normal abdomen. All I can think about is going shopping after I heal enough. I definitely be posting pictures after surgery

I forgot to update this thread, surgery got pushed back for some stupid reason, so now its not until March 25th.
