Don't understand this tanning mindset, especially when you seem to be concerned about your health, exhibited by your desire to lose weight. (Unless your weight loss is totally based on appearance and not health). Tanning beds are one of the worst things you can do. Your skin is your body's largest organ and you will be subjecting it to cancer and skin damage. I'm not judging you, but hopefully giving you some information about tanning beds that maybe you've missed and would like to do more research on.

I'm about 2 months out and I've gone a few times. People will say what they want but bottom line is, I'm not trying to be pale in my wedding dress and I work 2 jobs, 7 days a week so getting to the beach is about hard.

I was at the beach in three weeks. But all my scars were covered. I would suggest keeping them covered for now.

I would suggest never as they are a major cause of skin cancer, which is why they are banned in Australia.

How long should I wait to get in the tanning bed after surgery?

Consider spray tanning vs. tanning bed

When I was in my 20's I went to a tanning salon, loved being tan and loved laying out in the sun. Now, in my 50's, still love being tan but care more about age spots, wrinkles and skin cancer. Since surgery I've been using Jergens self tanner. Love it, everyone at work says I'm glowing and it isnt aging my skin. Think about it, just saying.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
