I would think they would be gone by then if you use scar cream...maybe I'm naiive but im 2.5 weeks out and the incisions are almost gone and I may begin to use scar cream so those will be gone soon.

it takes about a year for scars to fade. Your stomach gets pulled down and scar lowers but does not go away, ofcouse depends on how much skin you have.

Scars and stretch marks that are above your belly button do not ever go away. Usually the Dr cuts from the navel down all away, creates a new navel, and pulls the top down to tighten. As well most tummy tucks also include the under muscles being tightened! But no - what is there above your navel then becomes your whole tummy. :-)

but if you make the necessary precautions you can prevent scaring all together. One of my incisions (above the belly button) is all the way healed completely and you can no longer see it. And I'm only 2.5 weeks out.

I had a corset trunkplasty 2 weeks ago because I lost over 150 pounds & needed skin removed from the upper, middle & lower stomach. Its a more extensive scar than the Tummy Tuck scar. (It goes under both breasts, straight down my belly & hip to hip) However the super tiny scars from my sleeve and 1/2 my stretch marks are now gone. Lol.

Not on everyone. Every person is different. Every single woman has different skin.

Yes my lower ones nearer to my navel were either light or cut off with my MMO- but one single one that was right beneath my breast stayed. But it's okay :-) I'm fine with it- it's moved down now after my Tummy Tuck - and I'm 5 weeks out today from it- and my entire hip to hip and double anchor breast incisions are completely healed and almost not visible- so I think it depends on where the scars are at on our bodies also :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
