Can a few people post what their scars look like and if they did any treatment to minimize?

I use caster oil on my scars..It is the only thing that can absorb into the scar and treat it from the inside out as well as the outside..It makes the scars lighter and softer....

No photo's though....goodness!

From my Osteopath, who works on scars to soften them so that there will be less strain on your skin and organs and muscles if they are pliable....One part is connected to the other part in our bodies and it can have an effect on our system if not looked after..... :)

​Hi, I have attached two pictures. I am currently 3 weeks post op. The round scar isn't healing as fast as the other four. I started using coco butter for scars and stretch marks. It has worked really well so far (5 days). This one round scar is going to take a bit longer. The longer scar (below my belly button) was itchy and red for a bit, but now it's healing and fading. The other scars are also fading.

Castor oil is not fish oil . It's thick so I usually add organic coconut oil to it. I keep a bottle in my bathroom to smooth on after a shower or bath. It's so great for the skin and hair.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
