I was just wondering if anyone had major scarring from this procedure?Mine look like they are going to be ugly....no sexy belly dancing jobs for me:( -Actually I am bummed-I wasnt counting on such noticable scars-I know its early but its kind of pbvious-they r raised and such.sighhhhhhhhhhhh

Im sorry to hear your scars do not look good but maybe after healing 100% they may look better. I'm fortunate, the only scar I can find is my port incision and that looks pretty damn good, it is about 3/4 of an inch in length and not raised at all, the other 4 I can't even find

This thread has pictures of our scars at various lengths of post op.

I'm 6 months out and mine are still pretty dark, raised, and noticeable. Thank goodness I don't plan on wearing a bikini any time soon. LOL

thanks for the thread.ya'll look great.

You must have had a master artist...my port incision is about 3 or 4 inches long...I wasn't bummed until now......

Why no belly dancing? I had my gall bladder out about 7 years ago, and can only find one of the scars from that.... I expect in 7 years to only be able to find my port scar in 7 years....

I belly danced at almost my highest weight (was too sick at my actual highest) but then I've never let my weight stop me from doing anything. Probably much to the chagrin of my friends...

I had my gall bladder out in 99 and those arent very noticeable-These are gonna be doozies I do believe.
