I have Vitamin E oil so I guess I will just stick with it. I just don't remember my thyroid scar being this red/pink 2 months after so I am a little nervous.

Parttygirl I also wish my stomach was that flat but hey we will get there some day!!

this is why.... the thyroid scar is on the neck. You neck gets sun on a daily bases..... your stomach does not... there for your scar will be pinker.

Thanx for the info! I got a big tub of organic coconut oil at Wal-Mart for less than $10 and it lasts forever! You look great by the way :)

Thanks Sunshine... Coconut oil works great. Rub it daily if you can. It will help out a lot. Most important thing is to keep it moisturized...

Im concerned how my TT scar is going to do in the tanning bed.... going to start today... so we shall see....lol

Tanning beds are now listed as carcinogenic to humans . Its the worst thing you can do. Its straight radiation to your skin. Look up Scott Barnes Body Bling and St. Tropez products... both are sunless and awesome

So these sunless products, how Long do they last? Like if you go swimming will it come off? In Patches perhaps? Are you talking spray tans or lotions? I've never used either but it sure woul be easier than trying to get away to tan. Also does tanking beds help with scars or make them worse? I remember my sister used a tannin cream once and her hands were orange lol... That was awhile ago but scared me off!

      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!
