How long before incisions are less noticeable?

I'm 5 months post op and down a little over 100 lbs and feeling great. Just trying to get an general idea how long before the incisions become a little less noticeable. They have faded slightly but still very noticeable (especially the larger ones) if I was to take my shirt off at the pool. My surgeon ended up using staples because the skin was pulling to much which I think made it that much worse since I also have staple holes along side the incisions. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Picture attached of the worse ones.
