Port area puffiness will stick around for a while. Just look for signs of infection, and as long as it's fine, the swelling will go down. Battle wounds!!!! yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Does anyone know how long does it actually take for scars to not be noticable anymore? I am wondering when I can start wearing my bikini!! just kidding!

I am 6 1/2 months out of surgery and my scars are still red and look a lot like scottygyrl's scars, is this normal? shouldn't they be white by now?? And what bothers me the most is that the scar in the center is raised quite a bit, maybe I too should try that mederman stuff?

3 weeks post op, and not even ready to post pics. I will tell ya that liquid vit E is wonderful for the scars. Nurse recommended at the hospital got mine at Target' for a couple bucks. just wash, then rub on the scars it is excellent, hold on gotta look at my scars,port site is only one you can see clearly others look like Nana's 9 month shot.

What so ya know the vit oil must work try it if you get a chance. I will try and post soon. maybe I look nothing like Nana unfortunatly!!

Here are my 2 months after surgery pictures of my scars. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. I am just now starting to see some changes. This is about 32 lbs gone now.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
