I'm in my 6th week post-op and using Mederma ointment daily. It's showing some promising signs on my scars. Unfortunately I know one day my band port is going to show up like a prominent bottle cap on my abdomen. bmi.png

@@blessed973 They won't know what kind of surgery. :) Please be sure to put sunscreen on the scars - or they will get worse! Good for you for being able to wear a bikini by the way! I don't think I've worn one since I was 8 years old and I doubt I will again. lol

I am using ScarAway and seeing some improvements, particularly with the smoothness of the scars. I know the color will fade in time. I'm using the sheets, discs, and the roller massage silicone gel thingy. just kinda rotating the arsenal. The roller seems to really help with smoothing things out and it actually fades the scars instantly... for about a minute. :) One of my scars is/was indented and I was pretty upset about that and planning surgery to fix it, but since using these products it has really flattened out quite a bit! I'm 10 weeks post op and have been using ScarAway for about 3 weeks now. Wish I'd started even sooner.

It is likely that the scars will never vanish completely. If you want to totally hide your scars from the world while wearing a bikini, just get a cute cover tattoo :) That's what I would do!

      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! 😞
