Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone has used scar creams and what he or she thinks about them? I have three previous scars from having my gallbladder out plus five more from the sleeve. I look like I was stabbed, lol.

I've heard that scar away works pretty good! Haven't tried any myself though! I have scars from my Gallbladder and sleeve! But it's been years since my gallbladder and you can hardly see them, I hope my sleeve scars do the same

Mederma was the best for me also, I have had other scar issues including stretch marks from pregnancies (which were a very long time ago) and it worked wonders for me. Good Luck!!

Anybody have comments on Bio-Oil? Their ads say for scar lightening.

I just got bio-oil from costco at a great price. Contact me in a month or so and I'll report in on how it works. :-)

I bought the Bio Oil but did not think it did much good. I've heard that the most important thing is to massage the incisions. My sleeve scars disappeared just massaging with lotion. I am currently using Gene's Vitamin E cream from Sam's club because it's very thick so I can vigorously massage my plastics incisions. I used silicone strips but try are expensive and a pain in the butt.

I use Kelo-Cote. I bought it from Amazon. It's a little bit pricey but it works really good. I used it for my lapband scars and I'm using it for my new VSG scars.

I've just kept the scars well moisturized with either apricot oil or an alpha hydroxy lotion, and my scars are almost gone.

I just wanted to apologize to those of you who seemed to not like my post regarding the products that worked for me. I hope those of you who reported me (I did receive word that quite a few members reported me), I hope you do not think I'm a fraud and only on here to advertise. I am a true sleeve patient who successfully lost a great amount of weight and been a member for approx 2years of this forum. I have never mentioned the products before this site, I just wanted to help others. If anyone has a problem or concern or doubts please let me know, It did hurt my feelings to be told on and get introuble as if I was in grade school. I can handle the truth by my fellow members. Again I do apologize. Thank you.

      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! 😞
