How big is the scar?
Everyone asks this! My incision goes from just between my breasts to just above my pubic bone, then side to side, similar to an anchor. In 2 years it had faded tremendously. I had no staples or stitches, just steri-strips. All the stitches were inside. Yes it itched, still does some days! But to tell the truth, I am attached to my scar. Its a sign of where I’ve been and where I’m going. The only people to see it are my husband and doctors. I’m 47 years old, let’s face it, my bikini days are ancient history! (as if I ever wore a bikini…lol) Also remember that at 500 lbs, my belly was pretty big when I laid down. I was probably 2 feet high laying down, so he had a lot of cutting to do to get where he needed to get.
