How many surgery scars do you have?

[dbrar88 5]

15 here!!! 5 from lap band, 5 from gall bladder and 5 from VSG! I am NOT a candidate for a bikini commercial as my husband says!! Now stretchmarks....that's a whole other number!!!! lol!!!

I have 5 -- 4 of them are like directions on a map, each pointing a different way and the one where he took out my stomach is an X (buried treasure??) -- but I'm not concerned either -- I have silver stretch marks, one long horizontal scar from an ectopic pregnancy . . . I figured that if I ever get a Tummy Tuck, maybe some of my "roadmap" as Tiff called it will disappear with it.

Six - five from surgery itself, and one from the drain. Between those and my (now faded) stretch marks, I'm quite ok with (and even proud of) my "battle scars."

I have 5. Its been almost 5 weeks and they already look like they are fading. I didn't have a drain, so none from that. They kinda go in a circle shape all around my belly.

I have two, he was suposed to do single insion but my liver was to big so I have a 2 1/2 - 3 in one inside my belly button and one 1/4 in one at the bottom of my rib cage. But honistly on the smaller one the bandaud iritation loos worse then the cut in like a month you wont even be abel to see it. Now the streach marks are a totaly different story!!! but I have no plans on sporting a bikini anyway but I think it made recovery easier to only have the one real insion

I only have one inside my belly button I was surprised my self. Probably still wont wear a bikini ever but glad he was able to do it with the one incision.

I have 5 from the lapband surgery and now 5 more from the sleeve. He put the new ones pretty close to the lapband ones. Weird! I have a scar where my drain was, but it doesn't seem too bad.

I also have a huge long scar on my lower right stomach from an open appendectomy about 7 years ago. UGH!

They seem to all be healing fine and starting to fade. I don't see myself as a bikini girl either, so I'm not worried!

My surgery is Nov. 15th, so no scars here yet...! But I will only have 1 cresent shaped scar above my bellybutton (hopefully), unless my surgeon has to convert from Lap. to Open.

I had 2- 1 in bellybutton and one small on left rib plus 1 small for drain.

I have 5. One is inside the belly button and you can't really see it, the other four are scattered across my abdomen. Two of them you already can barely see anymore and the others are fading. There is one that is more prominent than the rest because when it was healing, I accidentally pulled my shorts over it and the scab ripped off. Instead of letting it go, I kind of freaked out and put it back on my skin and wore a band-aid over it for a while. I guess it kind of reattached itself to my belly, and then a few weeks later, it got ripped off by pants again.

I'm thinking all of my will fade to nothing eventually. I have scars from my hip surgerys that were roughly the same size as my VSG scars and they are next to invisible.
