I used neosporin on all my incisions they turned out very nice as long as they're not red hot to the touch or oozing anything you should be ok

After 10 months of the surgery I can hardly see the scars. It will look better along the way.

Good luck!! :)

I used neosporin hydrocortisone anti itch cream. It is for eczema and it worked great on my incisions. They were red, itchy and a little scabby until I used it.

If you had single incision that will certainly hurt the most your belly button is a tender spot so expect to be more sore than most

You could try Bio Oil scar treatment. You should be able to find it near the band-aids at the pharmacy, or in the pharmacy section of the grocery store. It might help keep it moisturized, and not so dry and itchy.

I used bacitracen ointment,,when you go to sleep place it on your booboo and cover with gauze so it will moisten thru the nite.. I also put Vitamin e oil on all my invisions daily(when i remember).good luck.

      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.
