This may be a dumb question but I thought I'd ask anyway...

So, I'm very interested in getting the VSG done. I just am worried about scarring issues. I had spinal fusion surgery back when I was 14 due to severe scoliosis and I have a thick keloid scar straight down my back. I don't care much about an outward scar from the VSG but I was wondering if you can keloid scar inside??  THat may sound like a funny question but I am kinda concerned about if it were to scar weird and my stomach would bunch up in bad way or something? Thanks for reading this. I feel silly posting it but it's an honest question. 

not a dumb question. I have the same condition and had the same concern. Doc told me that keloid scars do not happen inside the body! 

Really? That is a relief to hear!!! Thank you so much for replying  

I keloid too, but I couldn't tell you if I have any keloids inside.  My open incision looked like a giant zipper for several year, though.

Oh okay! Yeah :/ my back scar is still pretty puffy! It's gotten a lot better though! 

If your surgery is done laproscopically (most are), you'll have about 5 tiny incisions, mine are about 1/2" long. I would imagine that even if the scar tissue were to grow, the incision might not be enough to mess up the skin too much.

This would be a great question for a potential surgeon. If you haven't been to an info seminar yet, you could ask it at the end-- most of them have time for Q&A. :)

Thank you for replying! I should go check out a seminar actually! Thank you for the advice :D
