Never heard of it ... Looked on-line. Here is their site http://www.strivectin.com/. Sounds like a lot of money & I doubt it does much good.

Total waste of money. I got a gift card over the holidays, used it for some Strivectin, and it did absolutely nada for my stretch marks, or incision scars. I used it religiously, and to no avail it did nothing.

I worked in cosmetics for four years, and sales people actually get quite a big commission when they sell Strivectin. The girls I worked with and I tried the product- did not really work so well (and we used to joke that it smelled like feet). I've heard a lot of products for stretch mark prevention that have had good results, just nothing that works so well for getting rid of them. Will send updates if I'm able to find something that actually works from my former coworkers....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
