stretch marks & incision scars



Recommended Posts

Anybody find a product that really works? I have three kids and the tiger strips to prove it! I have tried cocoa butter and don't think it works. I seen mederma but don't want to purchase unless it really works it is pricey.

If there were a cream that truly worked, you wouldn't see so many people with stretch marks. My opinion is to save your money.

stretch marks are ripped skin. (I'm sure someone can be more scientific, but basically that's what it is.). You can get creams that lighten the skin, but nothing reverses the damage.

Cocoa butter works, Mederma,

are good for stretchmarks.

ambi is good for scars. And garnier fructise just came out with a new product.

Proactive has a cream called dark spot corrector

and clinique has products for it as well but they are TOO expensive and the bottle is too small lol

All these products work. All you need is time, patience, and money.

My sister had this ugly scar on her leg and she put ambi for like 3 months. She went through 3 bottles and the scar faded.

You can also go to a dermatologist. They will prescribe you creams depending on the severity of the marks.

You can also go to a plastic surgeon or medical spa who can do laser or other procedures to remove the marks.

Good Luck!

Good Luck!!!!

As with most things involving the human body, the same things don't work the same for all people, this means that because something works for one person it won't necessarily work for you. The best advice is always to consult with a dermatologist, unfortunately that isn't always possible due to cost association. Good luck.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
