How Noticeable Are Your Scars



Recommended Posts

For those of you a year or more post op, how is the scaring ? This is my first incisions of any kind and I'm wondering what to expect.

Barely noticeable, one thin white line, the littler ones are gone. I did need to move port and reduce te profile though, that was like a walnut under my skin.

Mine can be barely seen and a small line by my port sight.

i had five of them. 4 you can just barely make out and the 5th (where my port is) is a pink line about 2 inches long....id rather have those marks of success than be obese. (and as time goes on by, i am sure it will fade even more)

I was banded in April and my scars are fading...but still noticable--which is typical with my skin type. I am not planning on wearing a bikini top anytime soon so it really doesn't matter. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
