I didn't know that I had the hernia until I came out of the op and dr advised he fixed it while in there- no big deal from his perspective.

I doubt it will help you, but most likely, testosterone did it for me.
When the body hair grew back, it covered the scars pretty well... . Sorry, couldn't help it......

My surgeon recommended bio oil and was happy with me just using Vitamin e. I just rub it all over my stomach in the hope it can help strengthen my skin overall rather than the scars. Im not as bothered by my scars as i thought i would be, which is good! I'm 5 weeks post op so theyre still very much visible - will be interesting to see what they look like at 12 months. I hope you find something that works for you!

Thanks for your positive input, I will research the various options. To jessiegirl- pull your head in it is personal preference and I would suggest that part of your reason for having the surgery in the first place was not liking something about the way you looked- so be positive or buzz off
