Has anyone had good results with any scar cream? I have been lazy and have not started using any but I really need to! I'm also a little pessimistic thinking they really don't work. Had anyone had real results?

Mederma!!!! The stretch march cream works!!!! So good for scars too. It's the one in the teal colored plastic bottle/tube. It's expensive, like $40 or something but SO worth it

Mederma is good but you have to use it all the time. my Scar celoaded(Not sure on speeling... When scar tissue boubels ontop of skin), Keeping it out of the sun and massage cross fibering the tissue will help to break up and make a scar smaller without cream. even better with. Hope this helps

I knew someone who had major surgery (full Tummy Tuck & breast lift) her surgeon recommended Bio-oil and she swore by it. It cost about $11 on Walmart.com. Now, when I had my hip replaced I have about a 6 inch scar and I swore by Perlier Almond milk lotion. That ran me about $25. I think like the other poster said is to keep yourself moisturized, hydrated and smoothing it out would work.

Good luck.

PS: Here is the link to Walmart with the oil: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nailene-W-Purcellin-Oil-Bio-Oil-2-fl-oz/10317326?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=10317326&sourceid=1500000000000007346330&veh=cse

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
