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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
