To those who have had the operation:

How have your incisions healed? Do the incisions from surgery leave scars?

I'm 3 weeks out - they have healed but are definitely going to leave scars. Small price to pay for being thin... I'll TAKE IT!!!

I am a little over 2 months out and as others have mentioned yeah, it looks like they are going to scar but the incisions aren't that huge which is great. I put cocobutter and Vitamin E on them (alternate) it helping a bit :)

i'm a little over a month out. definitely going to scar but i had single site sleeve so its in my belly button. once my tummy gets tight (hopefully) you might see the tail end of it coming out the bottom of my button but might not be too noticeable.

Six months out and they have really faded, and I'm a bad healer. Or at least I've been told that from my thyroid removal incision. So I think you'll still see them, but pretty faded.

My multiple incisions from multiple surgeries healed fine with little scaring.. But, considering I have stretch marks from huge babies I've set my priorities and don't sweat the small things. You're young and probably will hardly notice the scars. They tend to heal as if you were scratched as a kid and that's not bad

I'm 5 months today post op, Yay!!!!! My scars took long to heal, and 2 of them. To make a long story short, I developed 2 small keloids, which is a raised scar..they have gotten smaller and are fading. I've been using MSM cream. I tried the Ambi going cream, but it made my scars very sensitive to touch and I had to stop using it. I've also tried silicone sheets, im just not consistent with it. I do think they work. Good luck!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
