Please post pics of your scar after surgery and what it looks like now. Want to know what I will be dealing with! Thanks!

Here are mine, sorry it's the best picture I have the one on the left is the week after surgery and the one on the right is this week. 8 months. It's pretty much faded, as you can see a couple scars is the least of my stomachs problems! I also had 3 c sections.

12 months post-op. I have 4 scars - one of the "most visible" in this photo is actually a birth mark! I can't wait to get a Tummy Tuck to remove these signs of WLS!

I didn't take pictures before but they were raised, red and lumpy. I'm Black and tend to keloid. I used scarfade gel initially. I've used it on scars I had on my face from shingles and knew it worked really well for me. That flattened them and helped reduce the redness. When I ran out I was using bio-oil . This helped fade them a bit. You can still see one or two ,but most are unnoticeable.

This is the single incision right above the belly button. It is almost invisible.

bottom pic is 10 months post op. You really can't see them. I'm happy with my surgeon for being so careful. Even through all the tiger stripes. 5# to goal!! Cw 137

This my big incision from my lap band surgery 3 years ago. It was 3 inches across. I had two others that were less thank an inch, but I can't even find them anymore. If my sleeve scars end up looking the same 3 years from my upcoming revision, I'll be happy????
