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 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! 😞
