I am having a Mini Gastric Bypass with Dr. Almanza and it will be laporoscopic.

Dr. Almanza did my VSG on June 16th, it was laproscopic-five incisions.  They have really faded in the last five months and are not too bad.

Thanks.  I have keloid-scarring skin and am willing to pay the price but still want to know how bad they might be.
