Stretch marks FROM Surgery



Recommended Posts

I know this sounds crazy but I have stretch marks around my port site and towards my insicion sites since my surgery!! These are what are the most uncomfortable, they feel like rug burns and they itch insanely bad!! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it and I have to say I am a little dissapointed, I was having this surgry so I wouldn't be getting any of these anymore:unsure:

Walgreens has a scar oil that worked wonders on my wrist where a plate and screws were installed from my broken arm. The scar is still there but greatly reduced and is almost gone from sight.

That sounds very odd to me. Unless you had some extreme swelling post surgery and your skin was not able to hold up under the pressure, it doesn't make sense that you would get stretch marks from surgery.

There are lots of creams out there that might help you heal. Especially if you look in a maternity section of a store. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I have heard of people getting stretch marks from gaining weight and losing weight and back and forth with weight. But I have not heard of someone getting stretch marks from surgery.

Have you had a fill yet? Just wondering if your doctor has seen this when giving you a fill and what their feedback was.

      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?
