If you get a chance can you link it? I may need a wider one for my LBL scar.

Trying this one. Reusable, too.

I talked to my surgeon about the tape yesterday. He said you should be able to use a single piece of tape for 3 weeks straight. Take it off when you shower, and then stick it back on. No need to "rinse off".

Just getting ready to create a post asking about silicone tape recommendations and I see that this one is the same one my Dr recommended so that makes my decision easy. [emoji4]

Turned out I am allergic to silicone tape so I am not even bothering. I still apply calendula cream in the a.m. and Vitamin E gel at night for the hell of it. The scars don't bother me much.

I’ve heard great things about Skinuva Scar Cream; many plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills recommend it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
