Melissa -3/17/09 -RTHR

This is at Day 10 post-op.

18-Days Post op (4.5" incision) It would have been 3" if I was not overweight........still not too bad.

I can't believe I am uploading pics of my behind on the internet.....LOL!!!




19-Days Post op
One strip off.

RTHR 2/4/09 - my 6" scar at 7.5 weeks

LTHR 2/26/09 - My little "zipper"

Hurting did you have an anterior approach? Cos your scar is way further down your leg than mine is! :)

Peta

It sure is! And straight on to boot! :)

no, it was a posterior approach

I'll get my daughter to help me post a photo of mine so I can show you what I mean about the difference! I guess all OS's have "their" way of doing things! :)

Then how high up is the rest of the incision???

Here is a different view

It is quite comical to try and take a picture of your own bum. Again, the dogs were my only audience and were looking at me quite strangely, especially the puppy. She's afraid of the camera~

I hope you all post photos. I am very curious now to see others. I did think it was quite low the first time I peeked.

I'm not sure if I want to post my stretch marked butt after such a cutie belonging to hurtingbuthopeful but here goes. Guess it takes all kind of butts to make a world. I also wonder if I hold the record for the longest scar??? Well I always was an over achiever!!!! About a year PO.

About deleting posts - there really is no need.

If you make a mistake, or the picture is too big, then simply hit the 'Edit' button , make what amendments you need and then 'Save'.

Pictures should be no bigger than 640x480 but if that still shows up too large then use 320x240. You could also try cropping the picture in your photosuite or what ever you have. Like so ...



Also, if you want to check what size an image is, right click on it and go to properties and you'll find the size next to the title Image Dimensions.

Left THR - 23rd October 2008. I've just spent an interesting half an hour trying to take a photo of my rear end and not get the worst of the cellulite in the frame!!!!! I'm exhausted.........! :)

You guys crack me up!

It's great to see everyone posting their scars! I'm excited to post mine 3 months from now.

Well I want to post. But its still an exercise in
Futility for me. :(
