How long until your incisions became less noticeable or unnoticeable?
For me it was one of those things that happened when I wasn't paying attention. They weren't super visible to begin with and now no one would know they were there unless I pointed them out - and I'd have a hard time finding them to be able to point them out!
But soon I'll have HUGE incisions and scars. :D

I can't remember, it's been so long. But by the time I was done losing, you couldn't find mine with a magnifying glass.

Not noticeable at one year, but I'm not sure how long it took to get to that point. You could still see red lines at 6 months.

My lap port incisions are noticeable still. Darker, but smaller. I also have a 3-4" incision where the stomach was removed (I was 440 during surgery so had a larger incision for that). This has remained a dark line. They've faded over the past nearly two years, but I can still see them.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
