I havent had VSG yet but I had my appendix and my gall bladder taken out in 2009 and i still have the scars. They are lighter then my skin tone but still somewhat visible.

The scars are generally very tiny! You can't see them much anyway... at least mine. For me it's been about ten months and they are not very vissible. It looks like I've had a few moles removed! :-)

I had a cyst removed from my throat when I was three and I still have the scar. It's very light (read almost paper white) now but it's still there. I dropped a scalding hot cup of coffee and got 3rd degree burns on my ankle when I was 6, still have the scar. It's much lighter and smaller, but it's still there. I fell off of a porch and scraped my leg on the side of a wooden cabin when I was 8 - it left me with about a 12in long scar on my calf... The scar is still there but it's about half the size and covered by a tattoo so not really noticeable anymore... My c-section from 9/2010 - still there but much less visible.. If you didn't know I had a c-section you wouldn't know what it is.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, the scars will never fully go away, but in about 6-12mos they should fade and become much less noticeable.
