With all the weight loss, the scars really are prominent, The one form the Abdominal Aortic Anneurysm looks like the erie canal and the ones from the esophgial surgery look like 357 magnum scars. The ones on my shoulders stand out big time, but the ones on my elbows are just noticeable if you look for them. LOL Look like a road atlas.
