I am three weeks out and on the surface all but one are healed, well it might as well be healed but it is still bruised. That is also my biggest incision. My stomach is still pretty tender though. In fact places that aren't even cut are sore. But I would say by the middle of the second week things started looking better.

2 or 3 weeks. It has to heal from the inside out.

I am the same as Gwen, about 6 weeks. (5 months out and I have 6 pink scars but they do not bother me at all as they are not that big.)

It took two weeks for my exterior incisions to heal, but another 4 weeks to shake the anesthesia fog from my head.
