How is the scarring situation a few months after RNY surgery? Was the healing long and painful? Will good old cocoa butter take care of this?

Hi D......I'm three years out from my RNY. The heal time from the incisions was a couple of weeks to totally heal, and I had no scarring. It's just a scant scratch mark at best that I ca barely see or feel.

I'm 5 months out and using cocoa butter..I really don't see a difference just looks like its lightening up but my Dr says its still bruised and it will be like for awhile. Good luck!

My scars were healed by my two week follow up visit. At 3+ years I have to search to find them. I have been blessed. No special treatments. Just moisturize, aloe & coco butter when I remembered.
