Scars and stretch marks



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Can you recommend a good cream to use to help lighten scar marks from surgery and stretch marks from being overweight? Thanks!!

Vitamin E Oil and Cocoa Butter Lotion are the two things that I keep reading about. I haven't been using anything, but I need to start.. My scars are really dark.

I've been using maderma for less than a week and I can already see a difference!

I agree that maderma is probably you best bet. it is made for scars...

Mederma is pretty good, it has lightened my scars very fast.

You can find Mederma at any drug store, OTC, and at most WalMarts, Target Stores and ShopKo.

You can find it anywhere basically. I got mine at walgreens. It's $20 but it will last a long time. I got the mederma gel. There's also the SPF cream but I didn't think that was necessary since you scars are never in the sun. Plus the SPF kind is $25.

the anti-wrinkle cream i'm using has also a skin lightening variant that works for scars and stretch marks too. you might want to check out NeuCell. that's the brand name.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
