I am sure I want this lap band but by surprise I am only concerned about the port scar. How do you guys really feel about the scar? Is it worth the weight loss?

Battle scars of a battle that I will surely win. Will wear my scars loud and proud

Mine is shrinking dramatically. Kinda like my gallbladder scar all but 1 you really have to search for.

Aww battle scars! That's a way I should look at it!!

Yea I've have surgeries and I can find those scars at all and they were major surgeries so I'm hoping its just the way my skin is and it will heal well b

They all shrink fast, but these scars I am proud to wear!

Mine is gone and I had mine in 2010 Feb 4, so don;t let that worry you, you will see as long as you drink you protein they vanish, good luck!

ask yourself which would u rather be healthier and weigh less or not have scars? I take the health

I'm six months banded the only visible scar I have now is the larger port one but that's just a faint line now and seems to be fading more and more. I'd rather a scar than the size I was.

Very good point! Ladies!!!! I wouldn't mind a battle scar. Besides I just want to feel good for myself. I don't plan on modeling or showing my stomach at all anyways

Honestly who cares about a scar? No one sees your belly unless you show them, but your fat is visible to all. The scar was the least of my concerns.

I have scars..dont really care about them..

My scar is only about 2 inches but I would have been fine with a foot long scar. Anything is better than looking at all of my extra rolls and back fat. I had 2 c sections and that "port" scar doesn't even faze me. And don't worry, it will fade over time. :-)

That's very true. I don't plan on revealing the scar to the world anyways but yes everyone does see the fat girl in the pics and walking down the hall. I guess unless they have x-ray vision who cares. Screw the scar I'm doing it.

My tiny scar is a constant reminder that I'm never going back to being 248 lbs. I will take the battle scar any day!
