I am 7.5 weeks out from RNY surgery. I noticed today that one of my scars (point of incision) has a circle of pink around it. It is slightly raised. There is nothing coming from it, it does not seem hot to touch and does not hurt. Does anyone know what this might be?

 New skin is usually pink.  If you have any doubt, though, call your surgeon.

It sounds like scar tissue. I forget what it's called. Something like kilos. (sorry I'm brain dead)  If its scar tissue it should eventually flatten out and lighten up.

It is called Kilos, I am almost 5 months out and they are just beginning to flatten out. As long as no oozing is happening - you are good. Oh and Surgeon says not to put anything on them, they will even out on their own
