I'm an avowed pure cocoa butter fan.

tea tree oil will help speed healing and reduce the scar that you will end up with. You should be able to find some at Walmart but I get mine from a specialized company.

I'm using Mederma...not sure how great it is, but giving it the ole College try!

MEDERMA ® Skin Care for SCARS ™

---Toni

My sis in law used this after her gallbladder surgery, and she says it worked very well. My neice uses it on her scrapped up knees she gets from skateboarding and baseball. Lol. Oh the joys of a tomboy! Haha

I've been using coco butter, but switched to Mederma 2 days ago at a friends recommendation. She has absolutely beautiful skin, and says she uses Mederma whenever she gets a scrape or something.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
