    Default Tanning BEFORE surgery?

    This may be a silly question but here goes.

    I'm having my gallbladder removed on Monday and I already know to NOT tan after surgery so my scars dont get dark but is there any reason to not tan prior to surgery? Will it have any effect on the scarring? Also..as for after...how long after do I not tan? I know there's also stuff you can put on the scars when tanning but I cant find the name. Also what are the best creams to put on fresh scars to help them go away? Ugh summer is here! I want to go to the beach!


    P.S. I know it's very common but I'm still scared!

    I have a "what to do to prepare for surgery" guide from my doctor. Number 6 says avoid sun exposure, alcohol and tobacco one week before surgery.
