I am 8 1/2 months post op. i just started tanning a few weeks ago. I didnt wait for any specific time' date=' thats just when tanning started to interest me again <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> must be the spring fever <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I had very light scars and now that my tummy is getting tan, they are basically non-existent!

The only scar that is noticeable is from my gall bladder surgery that i had a few months after vsg.

Good luck to everyone with your tanning!

I love my "me" time 2-3 times a week just laying in the tanning bed listening to music <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />[/quote']

I am 7 weeks out...I started to tan about 3 weeks out...I do use a towel to cover my scars. I am naturally dark skinned. My scars are barely noticeable.

I would advise anybody to check with their doctor first.

I got it at my tanning salon. It was a little pricey $45. But you don't have to use much, so it will last a long time.

I'm trying to get my legs tanned so I don't have to wear stockings at a wedding I am going to in about 4 weeks. So right now I am going 3x a week - 7 minutes each time. I'll then go 2x a week until my visits expire/summer in New England arrives.

      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.
