Surgery Scars

Hi All,

I'm 5 weeks post sleeve and am using ScarGuard daily to try and fade & smooth out these 5 scars as soon as possible. I'm wondering what other people are using for their scars. Also, can you post how far you are out from surgery and how your scars are looking? FYI, I am a natural redhead and very fair-skinned. People with a fairer skin tone tend to wind up with less visible scars in the long run from what I understand.

I'm redheaded and very fair skinned and as far as my scars, I'm 10days out and three of the five are almost invisible. I didn't do anything to help them along either. The two that are visible are the one where they took out the piece of my stomach, and the one under my breast bone where they inserted the camera. :3
