tanning

I had gastric bypass on 2/6/08... has anyone heard anything about tanning? is it allowed? (tanning salon)   any info is appreciated ~JESS~

Jess, Just my two cents....tanning is not good for you...but, you might want to check with your doctor. Rosemary

Jess,  I'm with Rosemary on this one.  You had surgery for the good of your health.  Please don't jeopardize your new-found good health by doing something that is known to be bad for you.   When you are healed, try a spray tan if you have to.   (Also, I have recently seen some people who are long-time tanners who are now 50-ish, their skin looks like a leather handbag!!) Be good to yourself -- Maria

Call your Dr and ask!

I tan, and know they say to keep your scars covered for a year. I think its because the scars fade better.

I love to tan since I lost the weight. It is so nice and warm, and helps the winter blues for me.
