Scars

I had RNY in June and was wondering about the scars. I have six of them.. How long before they go away and do they ever disappear completely?

Keep them out of the Sun till next year so the scar will not permentaly darken.  All of mine except the largest on the left side are barely visiable anymore.  They look like small cat scratches.  It was fun watching the top one under my boobs slowly move way down my stomach as things flatten out...everything flattens out LOL...Ass..boobs the works LOL

I can barely see mine and have to really make an effort to locate them at a year out.

This girl does not plan on wearing a bikini any time soon.
My have faded alot but I am sorta proud of them I wear them like a badge of honor.

It depends on how you scar and everyone is a little different, but they should significantly fade during the first year, but continue to fade over the following year. To be honest, I'll bet you would have a very hard time finding mine. My stretch marks from my obesity are much more noticeable than any of my surgical scars. If I didn't have the stretch marks and jello tummy, I could wear a bikini without your being able to see them... buy you know what might freeze over first... LOL
