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.

      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! 😞
