I am only a week out. I am hoping they fade as the healing process continues.

I was in a car wreck last year and have all types of scars...surgical and from injury. I used ScarAway pretty early on most of my surgical scars and things have healed quite well. I'd recommend for use on anything. Here's a pic of what I used. Also, here's a pic of my wrist that I had surgery on to fix broken bones...left pic is right when I started using the gel and 2nd pic is today, however, the today pic is roughly how it looked ~4mo after using the gel. image.thumb.png.d233a1812b38a4bd8668cf21f3100e73.png

I wasn't aware of the ScarAway product. Looks like it's very effective.

I started using Bio Oil as soon as my incisions were healed enough for me to feel safe in applying. Maybe after 2 weeks? I use it after every shower and because it's made my skin so soft and supple, I use it everywhere. At 7 months out, my scars are so faded that I have to look for them. Bio Oil even helped with my stretch marks.

Yep! It's definitely effective. Your incisions don't have to be 100% healed before you can apply the ScarAway. It creates a protective barrier and helps healing. You can also buy silicone strips. They can get pricey, but the stuff is worth it. Not sure why I never tried Bio-Oil. My mom and sister swore by it for a long time for stretchmarks. Most of my tiny, thin scars are completely gone that I can't even take pics of them.

      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! 😞
