I have a favor. I am trying to find pics of well-healed scars after VGS surgery. I see fresh ones, but not a lot of healed ones. Would anyone be willing to share a pic of your tum? Various stages of healing (fresh to well healed) would probably be appreciated by all. Thanks in advance.

Did you all have the Steri-Strips afterwards? Im allergic to adhesive and thats what Im dreading the most. (the hives and itching that come along with having adhesive on my skin)

There are alternatives. Yes I had them post op, but my daughter is allergic to adhesive and gets welts too and she's had stitches before and once they put hypoallergenic glue and it wasn't bad and the other time they just left the stitches without anything (they did tiny tiny stitches because it was on her face) and she didn't scar. They don't HAVE to use Steri strips, talk to them!

Did you have staples in just your biggest incision or in all?

Has anyone tried bio oil on their scars?
