I am being sleeved on oct 23 and was just curious scars on body how many and were they would be and If their big and noticable

way smaller than the strech marks.

I had 5 scars, 4 for the laproscopic instruments and one to remove the excised stomach. Just over 2 years post, you would have to look really hard and close to see the scars. They are very small.

I'm 3 weeks post-op. I have 5 scars, the biggest (where they removed the stomach) is 1 inch long. The rest are half an inch or smaller.

I had 5 incisions. 3 are tiny (less than an inch). 2 are larger, but by that I mean 2 inches, maybe. I am finishing up my 4th week post op and all the incisions have healed nicely. I think the scars are going to be barely noticeable! I'm really happy with these results. I now have permission to put neosporin on them, and I'm hoping that will minimize the scarring even more.

I have 6 - from the DaVinci Robot - i also had gallbladder removed laproscopically 16 years ago and yes the scars do fade, but you can still see them. They are skin color. I never minded them before because it wasn't like I was going to be showing off my belly, right? But these are right in the middle and larger and there are more of them, so i understand why you're asking. I work for a Pharmaceutical company - the one that sells the lapband actually (lol) and we have a top of the line Skincare line called SkinMedica - there is a scar recovery gel. It's meant for those who have have surgical procedures. I am using this in the hopes that one day I can get into a bikini!
