And they will fade and grow smaller- at one year m8ne have all faded into the stretch mark scars I had from 3 9 pound babies once upon a time. If you weren't another bari- patient and knew where to look, you'd never find them. Only one really still evident and it's such a mini one is the one. between my breasts where the liver retractor was placed. There had not been stretch marks so high to hide it. Its my little battle ribbon from it all. Means my skin rated me a SUCCESS so I wear it with pride!

Looks yummy, like a nice bariatric buffet!

My scars from my band aren't too bad anymore, but that was over 11 years ago. The only one that is still really visible is the one where they put the port in, it's about 2 to 2.5 inches long and still somewhat purple. You won't have to deal with that though! Other than that, there's one other scar still noticeable, but it's flesh-colored, it just looks like a different texture than the rest of my skin. I didn't use any scar fading cream, but a lot of people have great success with them if that's something you are worried about ?

Thanks for sharing!
