Welcome to part 1 of what we are calling ,"Wow, That's a Lot Of Information". The information below has been gathered in an effort to help all WLS patients, both Pre-op as well as Post-op.

The views and comments on this blog are not intended to act a "stopping point" in your journey, but more of a "layover in the library" as you trek to a healthier you!

In an effort to give where credit where credit is due, I must give Thanks to Melinda R. (melsreturn) for the majority of this information. She has gathered and shared this information with anyone and everyone who would ask for it. In fact it is her idea to post it here for all to use.

Scar Cream Recipe
This recipe was given to me by a business contact. Her mother-in-law works at Vanderbilt and a plastic surgeon there recommends this to his patients. It’s a very simple recipe. However, the Pure Lanolin is difficult to find.

Use equal parts of:
(1) extra virgin olive oil
(2) Ponds Cold Cream (I would use Ponds, not a cheaper version)
(3) Pure Lanolin (it’s sold on Iherb.com for less than $5 for a 7 oz jar. The jar is better and makes it easier to apply. The oil makes it messy and runny.

Mix all ingredients together in a plastic container. It’s very hard to stir as the Lanolin is almost like wax. I just filled up the jar which the Lanolin came in and use that to dip my cream from each application. The rest can remain in the plastic container until you are ready for a refill.
