Scars will fade over time but getting rid of them I think is probably impossible. You can use some scar fade cream but I dont think they will go away completely.

Applying Vitamin E oil, or "Bio Oil" to your scars will help soften them. Also, using Mederma will help fade them. My abdomen already looked like a road map between my appy, gall bladder, and hysterectomy...I just added the band scars to my collection! Figured I probably won't ever have that bikini body anyhow :)

No negative thoughts allowed. I thought that too and my Husband bought me a bikini in Hawaii and it actually looks pretty good... scars and all y'all!

I actually know of a product that works wonders on scars. It's called "scar away". It's a sticky silicone striip that you can start putting over the scars after they have fully healed. Like a bandaide. I personally don't think that my band scars will need them, but I had a huge scar on my forehead a couple years ago. Fourteen stitches from a fall while painting a barn. From my eyebrow to almost my hairline. I had planned on getting cosmetic surgery eventually, but after using these while I slept for about six months even the laser treatment center said that they could not improve it much more than it already was. With makeup you can barely see it now. It smoothed out the scar so that I had a flat surface to work with.

I ordered them from Amazon.< /p>

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
