I was just curious to know if the scars go away over time?

I have been using Mederma scar gel ever since my wounds healed. My surgery was on July 28 so it hasn't been that long, but all but the large one are barely visible.

My surgery was August 31st and I too am using Mederma ( you can purchase this at your local Walmart) and yes it does work grat to fade scars.Just remember to keep your scars out of the sun and they will fade faster.If you try to tan on your belly in a tanning bed or by laying outside where the scars are located they will stay red a lot longer.And if your scars are noticeable you can always cover them up with Dermablend makeup and some powder dusted over top of this. You can buy Dermablend at (I think) Hudson Belk's.

The small incision between my breasts is gone completely - and I can barely see the belly button one - 14 months out. I will say that subsequent scars don't heal as well in my opinion. I notice that I may be a little Vitamin deficit in the Vitamins that promote healing. For example, I got a tattoo in July that took a week to peel (instead of 2-3 days). And my plastic surgeon says that we need vitamin therapy before any subsequent surgeries.

This Halloween will be six years Banded, and I don't see any scars, just the big one is slightly visible.

I can't tell you how many years it's been this way, but I know at least a couple of years....
