Skin, skin, and more excess skin...

Has anyone found a good cream or supplement that helps with the skin issue? i know nothing is going to make it taunt unless its PS but its so wrinkled and loose on my upper arms, inner thighs, and stomach/abdomen area. Some of the stretch marks from decasdes ago that had faded seem even more pronounced now---not in color but texture on the skin. Should I moisturize it daily? Any particular type of product? Please share any and all recommendations Thanks Karen

Unfortunately I don't have any recommendations...gee I wonder if the old "vanishing" cream that they used to sell would make it "disappear"? hehehe...we wish!! I just try to keep mine moisturized. I'm looking forward to PS down the road (wish I could do it now, but I don't want to jump the gun and get it done too soon). Take Care, Terry

You know, I have found Coco Butter to be the best. It keeps the skin nice and soft and it smells yummy! It also helps with the scarring on my tummy, which is nice too.

Avon has some really great skin products. Do you know someone that sells Avon? I'd check with them. I hear that their cellulite cream really works so maybe they'll have something for all of our loose skin. Robin

I am only 6 days post op down 10 lbs since Friday (Total wt loss so far is 43.5) and my skin is already gettting yucky!! I am going to be selling Avon- should be starting in the next week or so and will actually be trying the cellulite cream and let you all know how it works. If it seems to work I will definitely offer it to all of my new friends here at a discounted price. I'm not selling Avon to make money, I'm doing it for the discount..lol. Michelle

I know you posted this awhile ago.... I've had my plastics... but before that... the more exercise (weight training), the better shape you are for plastics. In that you will have "firmed up". I didn't find any "cream" that would do anything plastics did. I did use lotions/oils post-op and have virtually no scars (good healing genes too). Best wishes, Lisa
