I thought some might want to see what it looks like after you get surgery.. Please dont mind my boobs i made sure no nipples were in the picture. Also it was hard for me to get all wound marks in the picture since i took it myself. I took this today i had surgery may the 4th. So this is 5 days after surgery. I have 6 wounds.

If you have any questions about my journey these first 5 days please feel free to ask.

So, please follow your own advice.

Thank you for posting this - it really is helpful! My husband was asking what the scars are like, and since neither of us has ever had surgery, we really didn't know!

Thanks for posting!

Great idea to post. When I had my first surgery I had no idea what they would look like. This should be helpful for those who are wondering. Good luck with your journey.

Thanks for sharing, @gotosleeve. Your scars don't look bad at all! I just had my gallbladder removed 2 months ago with similar looking scars. Once I have the sleeve my stomach is just going to be a laparoscopic scar mine field (fingers crossed my insurance will pay, my first consult is Monday). Oh well, seems like a small price to pay for something that will hopefully help change our lives for the better!

Mine looks different I had gastric bypass. I have the 6 scars and then a long one a cross my belly button and about an inch past it. That hurts the most as it is right where my pants hit.
