Question:
How long did you wait until going to the tanning bed?

Being an aesthetician I know it's not good for you, but I'm in a wedding soon wearing a cocktail length dress and was wondering how long I should wait to do the tanning bed. I'm 3 1/2 post op from lap rny, and could cover up my stomach so it didn't effect my incisions.    — batiekall05 (posted on April 12, 2009)

i had open rny on 1/05/09. I just started tanning about 2 weeks ago, and all is fine. I dont even cover my incisions. My doctor said that tanning will help the scar fade. Good luck to ya.

I waited until my scars no longer had any kind of scab to them and then I started tanning again.
