I am 8 1/2 months post op. i just started tanning a few weeks ago. I didnt wait for any specific time' date=' thats just when tanning started to interest me again <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> must be the spring fever <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I had very light scars and now that my tummy is getting tan, they are basically non-existent!

The only scar that is noticeable is from my gall bladder surgery that i had a few months after vsg.

Good luck to everyone with your tanning!

I love my "me" time 2-3 times a week just laying in the tanning bed listening to music <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />[/quote']

I am 7 weeks out...I started to tan about 3 weeks out...I do use a towel to cover my scars. I am naturally dark skinned. My scars are barely noticeable.

I would advise anybody to check with their doctor first.

I got it at my tanning salon. It was a little pricey $45. But you don't have to use much, so it will last a long time.

I'm trying to get my legs tanned so I don't have to wear stockings at a wedding I am going to in about 4 weeks. So right now I am going 3x a week - 7 minutes each time. I'll then go 2x a week until my visits expire/summer in New England arrives.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
