I am waiting for my insurance approval for the gastric sleeve. I know they do it laparoscopically but how bad are the scars ? I will do it either way because the scars will not be as bad as staying this big , but I want to be prepared.

Sleeved 8/15/17 mine are not that bad but still are scars still the same. I am gonna use Mederma on them.

I'm 3 weeks post-op and my incisions aren't bad at all. I've been using Aquaphor on them since the surgical glue wore off (about 9 days post-op). I have 6 incisions, but 3 are very small - less than 1cm - on R and L sides, and upper center. Today I started using Bio-oil on them, as many recommend to prevent scarring. And I had gastric bypass, not the sleeve.
