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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
