Question:
is there any products out there to increase the elasticity of my skin???

I was wondering if there are any commercial products that will increase the elasticity of my skin during my rapid weight loss after surgery. I know that a tummy tuck is always an option, but other areas of my body would not be insurance covered and I simply cannot afford to pay for plastic surgery on my buttocks, thighs, and arms. I am not expecting to look like a supermodel with this flat stomach (although a miracle like that would be nice)but I am hoping to reduce the amount of excess skin to something that is tolerable to look at. I haven't had surgery yet so I want to be prepared. Any creams, lotions, herbals remedies, exercise, anything that I can do to increase the elasticity of my skin and help it to bounce back faster?? Any help would be appreciated. Also, I weigh 279 lbs and I am 5'5". I wonder how bad the apron will be? Any thoughts from someone who was in my height/weight range before surgery? Thanks    — enjo4 (posted on May 24, 2000)
