Thanks for replying. I figured maybe they could use the same area, but I didn't know if the scar tissue would make it more difficult. I have surgery tomorrow, so I will ask my doctor when I'm there.

i was revised from band to sleeve a week ago, unfortunately they did not follow the old scars, there are new ones just above or below the old, but i really dont care, its the least of my worries.

I wanted to update my scar outcome.... Dr. Rodriguez wasnt able to use the scars from my band removal but I will say that his 4 cuts are far more nice and clean looking than the 6 cuts Dr. Primomo d
Hi All,
I was just wondering if anybody had any input on their scars from revision surgery. I still have visible scars from being banded and didn't know if I was going to get new scars for the sleeve revision. Do the doctors try to follow the same scars or do you get new ones? I just don't want my belly marked up more than it was before. I mean my tummy already looks hidious, but I certainly don't want it to looks worse. I know fat is worse than scars, but just wanted some input.
:smile1: Anybody?
I accidentially posted this in the general forum but maybe someone here can answer?
