Mine really aren't that bad. At this stage, I am thinking the port scar will probably never completely heal although it is flat and lighter but the others are barely visible and look like freckles The port scar is about 1 1/2 inch straight purple line above my belly button. I can say that scar looks beautiful compared to the 87 pounds of fat I was carrying around though!

My roomie was banded in March and her scars don't look bad at all! Of course, keeping them clean and dry in the beginning helps, and then you can always apply Mederma after they heal. I'm a clutz and Mederma always works for my other scars. Plus I'm taking Biotin (a supplement) which is supposed to be good for your hair and skin. Anything that can help, I'm tryin!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
