It is  almost a year after my lap band surgery.  I am down 80+ lbs and am within 15lbs of my goal.  Summer is almost here and I am now really noticing the changes in my skin.  My skin texture feels different I guess it is just that it is loose.  I am most self consciouns of my chin.  I was wondering if anyone has had any positive results with skin firming creams.

There are no miracles, but...I have noticed two inexpensive skin firming creams with active copper that show a noticable texture and firmness...I really could NOT believe how good it worked...Like I said it's not a face life or tummy tuck, but WOW what a difference in two weeks...and I've been using it for 2 years or so.... I LOVE Neutrogena skin firming with active copper but I can't find it easily in the stores...so I switched to Aveeno Active Naturals in the "Copper" top...It doesn't seem to have the "oomph" that the Neutrogena has...But I still like it and it smells really nice and my skin is very moisturized...No dead lifeless skin all winter!  I'll have to order the Neutrogena online...I sqeeze my last drop out a few days ago!  I miss it! I think they changed the packaging or something...It used to come a in green squeeze bottle...I found a few sites that have it in stock, but not many.... I swear by copper peptides for the skin...These two I KNOW are good...

I tried numerous skin firming creams and wasnt impressed - my favorite lotion is Palmers Cocoa Butter... its really worked the best for me and keeps my skin healthy and hydrated... it also helped a lot with the stretch marks. As a side note - I found my skin was slow 'snapping back'... its really been as more time has passed that I have noticed small improvements. As you can see I am almost 2 years out and really over the past 6-8 months is when my skin has improved the most. I have maintained my weight since Feb but found inchwise things were changing as some of my clothes were slightly too big and I am able to buy some smaller sizes. My BF commented the other day that I was 'getting skinnier' but I havent lost any weight *shrug*

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

1/14/2025 still maintaining 135 :-)
