Question:
Is there any specific creams or products you can suggest post-op?

I am wondering if anyone can tell me products that you have used, that have noticibly worked, to help out skin appearance after you start losing weight. There are numerous cellulite reducing creams, scar & stretch mark creams and I'd like to see if anyone has tried them.    — Kathy K. (posted on June 4, 2003)

For scars I use 'Scargo' which is available from vitalady. I love it! I can tell the difference after only 3 days of using it (applied 3-4 times a day). It is only $6.50 I think and the Mederma is twice the cost. Regarding tightening of skin I have heard from a friend that Avon has a wonderful skin treatment that works. You still have to exercise but it does help somewhat. Good luck!
