Stretchmarks/scars...

[Kiki Von Moonshine 53]

Where are yours, and you going to rock them after you're sleeved? Do you rock them now? I have them, and I intend on getting lasering to see how that works on them. Mine are on my shoulders, my stomach, sides, and my arms. I use to use cocoa butter and the generic maderma but didn't work well enough for me. What are you going to do with yours. I'd like to say that after I'm sleeved that I will rock mine, but not too sure. I do know that I probably wont fuss to much about the ones on my shoulders despite they still bug me.

stretch marks are a part of life for everyone, not just us BBW/BBM. Mine tell a story of how I overcame struggles in my life. As far as the scars from surgery- I hate them. A LOT! My bf had his gall bladder removed a month or two before I had my sleeve done and you can hardly see his scars- drives me nuts. He hasn't seen mine yet and IDK if I'll let him for awhile. I'm thinking about splurging on the real Maderma, as I too have a generic that has done nothing for them.

Lol, I forget about the surgery ones, but oh how I hate my stretch marks. They are everywhere!

Even skinny people have stretch marks. My 13 year old (skin and bones) son has a bunch from his rapid growth spurt. dermatologist said nothing will get rid of the stretch marks and not to waste the money as if she had something that would get rid of stretch marks her line would be out the door, lol.

I agree with wishes, the incisions from my surgery I don't care about, and honestly they almost look like birthmarks, they are so tiny and at this point (6 months out) can barely be seen. My stretch marks? ? I HATE them. I think some of the ones on my shoulders have faded a bit, but my stomach? Well the only thing I can hope is that if I ever can get my extra skin removed the stretch marks will go with it!

I know that skinny people have stretchmarks.What I have heard from a sleever is she tried laser surgery and it helped her scars, and stretchmarks, so I'm trying them.

I too am not worried about incision scars since my c section scar looks "really good" when all the doctors see it. It didnt darken or anything. My stomach go up almost all the wasy, so even if I have the Tummy Tuck I will still have them.

My stretchmarks have become the bane of my existence. They didn't look so bad when I was heavy, but now that I'm close to goal, everywhere there are stretchmarks (thighs, stomach, boobs, & arms) the skin is sooo saggy. Saggy like my 85 year old grandma saggy. So depressing. I'm now saving for some plastic surgery to pull the skin tight. I don't care about the stretchmarks... it's the saggy skin that's making me crazy!

I have stretch marks at hip level on my back as well as along the underside of my stomach. I have a couple along my breasts but not many. I don't mind the stretch marks.

As for the surgery scars, they are fading fast, and I don't mind them at all.
