Scars!?! Would you...

Think of your scars as a private badge for what you have done to make yourself healthier.

I love this line!!!

I'm almost 6 weeks out with 2 larger (about 3 cm) incisions and 3 that are less than 1 centimeter...the three smaller ones are already fading, the larger 2 are in the process of going from hot pink to pale pink...no biggie..if they're anything like my gallbladder scars I won't even notice them in 6 months....BUT...like everyone above, I wouldn't care if I did. Scars don't scare me, diabetes and heart disease do....

When people ask me about them, I tell them I was in a gun fight and won! I too would rather have scars than a big fat everything.

Personally, even if the scars were big and didn't fade, I would do this over and over and over and over again. My overall health is far more important than the existence of the scars.

Now that I am close to goal, I can feel my port, and occasionally see it, but should I ever choose to have the reconstructive surgery to remove the 20 pounds of extra skin I have I will have it relocated.

Port, scars, extra skin and all, I would do this again in a second.
