Hi Jeff, I read through all the posts and what stood out was you said- For no apparent reason I need to take deep breathe's-- I remember before my surgery I needing to yawn alot- I know when I took a good yawn I would get a good long breath! I look back now and I was not in good shape! I am so...

O.K. everyone knows Gilles is totally hot!! But I want Melissa to win!! Debbie :)

Seth, mine is 9 inches too. :) Can't see it on the pic, but I have another scar that runs right under my breasts from the first surgery that is 16 inches!! If you count my leg incision and several tube scars I've got about 30 inches total!! More the better :D:D:D Debbie :)

Wayne, that is funny-- I have seen your pic's and you do look like you've been in a knife fight!! Don't want to see what the other guy looks like :D:D Jeff, would you consider posting a pic for us to see?? I think it always is helpful to others to see what other people's scars look like so...

Hey Seth , thanks for sharing your scar with us!! Your scar is long for the bentall, I thought those scars were only about 4 inches, I might be wrong! How long is it??? Let us know-- Debbie :)

Thank you Marguerite for posting your pic!!!! Your scar is thicker than mine, but mine is longer:D:D I wonder what makes one person keloid and another not??? Anybody have any ideas??? We haven't heard for the guys yet :eek: I guess they don't care about their scars?? Debbie :)

Wow , Halley I did'nt know you could do that at the dematologist office. It really worked?? How well?? How many times did you go?? Cherly, I never tryed the strips, do you need to use them right out of surgery, when the scar is "fresh"?? I think you do? I still want to see some of the other's...

keloids keloids Hey again, just wanted also to tell everyone that I have tryed all the creams and vitamin E oil and I don't think they helped me. I do ALWAYS wear suncreen everyday because I'm outside alot, but I do try and avoid the sun. I have heard the darker the skin the more keloids. I...

O.K. everyone_ I don't want to scare off the newbies, but I wanted to get a pic of my scar now-1 year later and with some keloids that have developed. Look up my 1 month post-op pic (pg.2 under debbie's pic's Feb 21st08) and compare. 1 year ago nice and thin - now thick in the middle. Does...

Another beautiful spring day here today! Got to ride today in the evening with shorts and short sleave shirt, can't wait for the really warm weather to come, I love it! Rode 2X's this week about 15 miles each. Total 31 miles this week-- Debbie :)

Hobbydad, I just found this group and working on joining!! The site is www.bikescor.com if any others want to check it out. I sent in the paperwork to join, and I will get a newsletter each month. The group is about 90 plus miles from me so I can't do weekly rides with them, but I called...

Wow Matt , what a story! I'm up late so decided to read. I also had some leg problems. No one told me that they had problems getting into me because of the scar tissue and they had to go in through my leg to put me on the heart/lung bypass. So the first time i got up after surgery and went to...

Ross, that is pretty strong stuff! I have tryed alot of different beers and i don't like it at all!!! Stick to Pauliner and you'll be good! Debbie :)

Tbone- I read your post but not really sure what they did to you. What is it called, and what they were trying to fix?? When you have time and energy could you explain?? Thanks Debbie :)

Hey Laura--- glad everything went well!! Take it easy and don't be trying to pick up your kids! I hope you have lots of help with them, you'll need it. I forgot, how young are they? Are they old enough to help you?? Take care Debbie :)
