Hi all!

I've done the sleeve about 3 months ago. I had several post-op complications, but just now I feel almost 100% recovered, getting used to my new life style.

The only thing really bothering me is my incisions scar. They seem much bigger and darker than they suppose to be. I am just wondering if anyone got something similar:

I had two other surgeries through the same incisions due the complications. Maybe that's a reason it doesn't look so good? Did any one have experienced the same and it looked better later?

I have been using silicon on them, it does seem to work but temporarily.

Your thoughts, please!

Cheers.

You could try Vitamin e oil or bio oil on them. If they have been used twice they are going to be more visible than most scars, still they will fade. My scars are barely visible now. It just takes time.

My dermatologist recommended biocorneum and I've been using that. I might get them lasered in a few months if they still really bug me.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
