scars
I cannot even see them anymore and just tried to find them but couldn't.

My RNY was open (and then I had two additional open surgeries along the same incision line), so my RNY incision is VERY noticeable, but I had my gallbladder removed laparoscopically, and like Laura, I just went to look for those scars and the only one I could even find was one that the surgeon had to make 1.5 inches long to get through some mesh from my hernia repair.
Don't wast any energy worrying about a few tiny scars that are going to fade to almost nothingness.

I am about 18 months out, and can see that my scars are fading slowly. They are not as prominent as they used to be, but I can still see them. So are my knee replacement scars. In fact, I kinda look like Frankenstein, but that's fine with me! I am healthier and can walk without pain.
