There is no cure to get rid of stretch marks but to soften them just moisturizer A LOT !

Try BioOil - it helped me through past weight loss & I've got into it early after surgery. Whatever you use it needs to be regular use (2-3 times a day) to be effective. They will never disappear but they will get finer so they are not as noticeable..

They will never go away :( but I have always used coconut oil. Have a bottle of it by my shower and put it all over right after I get out. At night I even put it on my face. I buy mine at trader joes but you can get it in the food isle were the cooking oils are etc. I love it!

I have read about skin rolling for stretch marks. It is supposed to rebuild the collagen in those areas. I've never tried it (seems too medieval for me) but it seems like the only thing sub-dermal. Topical creams etc, don't really work. 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!
