I was just wondering if there is any harm laying in an tanning bed? I am 5 weeks out.

I laid in the tanning bed a few weeks out from my RNY ... Don't forget the scars will be darker from doing so though... but that doesn't bother me... I love to tan and find it relaxing... I had an abdominal hysterectomy w/mini tummy tuck 4 weeks ago... I have an 11 inch scar but I started back tanning yesterday... when I asked the doctor he said other than the normal health risk that he didn't know of any others... hope this helps :)

Aside from the skin cancer you'll be fine. I am a tanning bed type of girl and I didn't have any problems.

I tanned 2 mos after my surgery and I was fine and it didn't darken my scar either :)

Just a word of caution. I went to the tanning bed before my cruise and everywhere that my skin is kind of saggy from the weight loss I burned like you wouldn't believe I was miserable for days. So not sure if you cover anything in there but going forward be careful of the stretched out skin areas I'd never go back in without covering my belly!!
