Stretch marks FROM Surgery



Recommended Posts

I know this sounds crazy but I have stretch marks around my port site and towards my insicion sites since my surgery!! These are what are the most uncomfortable, they feel like rug burns and they itch insanely bad!! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it and I have to say I am a little dissapointed, I was having this surgry so I wouldn't be getting any of these anymore:unsure:

Walgreens has a scar oil that worked wonders on my wrist where a plate and screws were installed from my broken arm. The scar is still there but greatly reduced and is almost gone from sight.

That sounds very odd to me. Unless you had some extreme swelling post surgery and your skin was not able to hold up under the pressure, it doesn't make sense that you would get stretch marks from surgery.

There are lots of creams out there that might help you heal. Especially if you look in a maternity section of a store. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I have heard of people getting stretch marks from gaining weight and losing weight and back and forth with weight. But I have not heard of someone getting stretch marks from surgery.

Have you had a fill yet? Just wondering if your doctor has seen this when giving you a fill and what their feedback was.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
