zenoosh 112 Posted October 15, 2012 Oops! Hit the send button too fast! Just wanted to give everyone an idea of what the scars look like. I will be 2 weeks post op ok Tuesday. The first picture is of my largest incision (where I believe they took my stomach out of) and the 2nd is of my overall abdominal area. I do plan on using scar cream..although from the looks of it I may not need it Dude, you can barely see those. I can't believe how quickly you healed! That's great :-) 1 SkinnyMinnie2Be reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
