I'm 9 weeks post op and they are looking much better, but still look obviously like I was cut in 5 places. Would love to wear a two piece by summer, but it's not going to look pretty at the current rate. For all y'all who are further along than me, how long did it take for the to be not so obvious?

I don't know if we need to remove evidence of surgery. Maybe it is because I am a guy, but I look at scars as war wounds that each tell a story. Wear them with pride! I have various scars from different repairs in life. I like telling people about where they come from. I am like an old quality piece of furniture with lots of nicks and scratches. Apologies in advance if this metaphor is really bad. Lol.

That's how I feel.. And my kids are the same. They wear all their sports scars with pride and a story to go with every single one! Some are from being stupid and those have the best stories that as a parent you never should have been told.. Holy crap, the things I didn't know

I second that! But I'm aware that it's probably just a guy's perspective. By torn bicep scars are my favorite ones to talk about.... I like watching a person's face when I tell them about how it happened and ripped completely off the bone. Check out the inside of my forearms. One is a little more faded than the other since it was further back (10+ years ago).

I'm 19 months out, and I don't see mine although I suppose if I were to look really hard I'd probably find them.

Depends on colour of skin etc but mine are unnoticeable @ 5 months out. I applied cream day and night every day. Just found out I need gallbladder out though - so got to start the whole process all over again!!

Sorry to hear about the Gall Bladder. Good luck!

Will take years.
