Please tell me how bad your scars are. I see some people post that they have scars that make them look like they have a second belly button. Is this common? :confused1:

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.
