Scar Stages Share yours!

Lisa actually is giving me a great idea. The port scar is really the only one to be visible years later, hmmmmmm, what about strategically getting a small little cute tattoo to cover it????

my 6 week photos are coming soon! :)

WOW Nana - you're pictures are really encouraging. I'm really concerned about scaring - can you tell me more about your pre & post-diet, exercise and post filling diet since your surgery date last summer?

I'm new and thinking in the introductory stages of the band process. I want to do it, I believe I'm a good candidate - but I'm afraid of the scaring on my belly, being able to return to work right away, negative impact to my sex life, and the ability to exercise. All of these worries are making me quite anxious.

Help -

Okay, it's still very big, but I get that you have developed a keloid...a build up of scar tissue. I get them too, but haven't on my incisions. I'd get those Mederma Band-aids...that scar healing medicine that you can leave on all day or night with a Band-aid type covering...I'll bet it will flatten out nicely, and the sooner the better.

Wow Jenna, I'm so busy admiring your pretty bra I didn't even notice the scars! Looking great on healing!

I need to post my 5 weeks scars. They look like cat scratches...but the ones I posted when I got home were covered in steri-strips and band-aids. I never bruised either, hmmm. Gimme a sec and I'll re-post an update, too.

Jenna, you can really see a big change in 7 weeks. You look great. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said my port scar is a little red on the outside and has put me on an antibiotic. He also said it was a bit swollen. I wrote this because Trish mentioned that her scars were red and our surgery dates are very close.

      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!
