The scars are nothing to worry about at all. I've had a total of 16 incisions over 3 surgeries, lap band placement, lap band removal and now my sleeve on the 1st November 2016. None of the incisions have ever been painful and the scars are barely noticeable, and I haven't even bothered to use a scar treatment, so if you were to use a vitamin e oil or similar scar treatment I doubt you would really see them over time.
