Port area puffiness will stick around for a while. Just look for signs of infection, and as long as it's fine, the swelling will go down. Battle wounds!!!! yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Does anyone know how long does it actually take for scars to not be noticable anymore? I am wondering when I can start wearing my bikini!! just kidding!

I am 6 1/2 months out of surgery and my scars are still red and look a lot like scottygyrl's scars, is this normal? shouldn't they be white by now?? And what bothers me the most is that the scar in the center is raised quite a bit, maybe I too should try that mederman stuff?

3 weeks post op, and not even ready to post pics. I will tell ya that liquid vit E is wonderful for the scars. Nurse recommended at the hospital got mine at Target' for a couple bucks. just wash, then rub on the scars it is excellent, hold on gotta look at my scars,port site is only one you can see clearly others look like Nana's 9 month shot.

What so ya know the vit oil must work try it if you get a chance. I will try and post soon. maybe I look nothing like Nana unfortunatly!!

Here are my 2 months after surgery pictures of my scars. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. I am just now starting to see some changes. This is about 32 lbs gone now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
