I know most of you guys may be too fresh pot op to know but I was wondering if anyone Keloid after wls? How did your scars heal? I know everyone is different just curious.

I'm two and a half years post surgery and you couldn't see my scars unless your nose was against my stomach. That probably painted an odd picture.

Lol okay. Thank you. But you did keloid a little?

Not at all, but I think it really depends on whether you're prone to keloid scars. If you are, it's a wound and you could get keloid scarring like any wound.

Hi, I developed 3 keloid scars and and one of them kept getting irritated because it rubbed my bra. I had surgery 1 Dec 2015 and about 6 months later during my doctor follow up I asked him if he could remove them. I scheduled and outpatient minor surgery (scar revision) and everything went well. I was given a cream to put on the wounds for 5 days, I think it was some type of steroid to prevent another scar from forming. Two weeks later it was completely healed. I do have a bit of discoloration in that area but with time you can barely tell. By the way, I lost 100 lb 9 months after my surgery I used to weight 282 lb. In total I lost 127 lb and as of today I weight 156 lb.
