How bad are your scar's?



Recommended Posts

I had my minimally invasive surgery done transvaginally at USCD Center for the Treatment of Obesity in San Diego. I know it sounds creepy at first, but most hysterectomy's are done like that. I only had 2 scars I can even notice, one a little less than and inch and one a little less than a half inch (and there is a teensy tiny one under my ribcage where he lifted the liver I believe).

I had very very little pain from the incisions, my stomach was another story. But worth it. I am using Mederma, but I am not sure if it is helping or just the healing process.

I am four weeks, 3 days post-op and my scars are all a violent purple at this stage. Of course, my belly is fish belly white so everything stands out more. I have five scars; one at my breast bone and the other four in a loose circle. If you let my belly button be one of the dots you could connect a big oval. I apply a homeopathic herbal cream every morning but think maybe I should get something stronger like this Bio-oil, I'm sure drugstore.com will have it.

I had surgery on Friday. 4 scars and they are all brused. Did anyone else have brusing with thier scars? Also, can anyone explain how in the world they got everything they needed in one day? I am full of questions.....liquid Vitamin? Anyone know of a good one besides the Celebrate kind that taste like poop?

Thanks all, this site really saves me :)

It hurt when I drank so I lived on Edys No Sugar Added juice bars to help with hydration. I took one a day vitacraves gummies, but I took double the recommended for a while to offset the lack of food.< /p>

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

      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! 😞
