Scars will fade over time but getting rid of them I think is probably impossible. You can use some scar fade cream but I dont think they will go away completely.

Applying Vitamin E oil, or "Bio Oil" to your scars will help soften them. Also, using Mederma will help fade them. My abdomen already looked like a road map between my appy, gall bladder, and hysterectomy...I just added the band scars to my collection! Figured I probably won't ever have that bikini body anyhow :)

No negative thoughts allowed. I thought that too and my Husband bought me a bikini in Hawaii and it actually looks pretty good... scars and all y'all!

I actually know of a product that works wonders on scars. It's called "scar away". It's a sticky silicone striip that you can start putting over the scars after they have fully healed. Like a bandaide. I personally don't think that my band scars will need them, but I had a huge scar on my forehead a couple years ago. Fourteen stitches from a fall while painting a barn. From my eyebrow to almost my hairline. I had planned on getting cosmetic surgery eventually, but after using these while I slept for about six months even the laser treatment center said that they could not improve it much more than it already was. With makeup you can barely see it now. It smoothed out the scar so that I had a flat surface to work with.

I ordered them from Amazon.< /p>

      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'. ???

        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!
