I've never heard of scar pads but I'll go to my pharmacy tomorrow and check them out. Thanks for the advice. B.D.

I wish I had done more research - I think my doctor just wasn't experienced enough. My arms feel really tight still and the skin is pulling in. I'm really trying to lose some weight (I have about 10 lbs to lose) to see if that helps. I used my arms right away but it would be difficult if you needed your arms to get up, etc. I look at this big incisions and my still large arms and I'm just not sure it was worth it. Good luck making your decidsion.

I'm now 5 weeks and I'm still having quite a bit of pain and take either Advil or Codeine almost every 4 hours. I can straighten my arm now. I have a "wound" on my left arm that is quite sore. I'm putting a dressing on it every other day and I'm not to shower in between. It's quite gross. My doctor's assistant told me to expect 6 weeks but it looks like I'll be longer. I really never expected this type of recovery!
