So, I have been worried about loose skin since before my surgery. I will admit I am a little vain when it comes to my hair/skin. I used to be thin and had a rocking body so the thought of being thin again and having my skin hang down everywhere has made me a little crazy. (I feel the same about my hair.) So, I have done my research and am going to give skin brushing a fair try. What do I have to lose??? Started this last night and it felt very strange. It did not hurt, but it was not that pleasant either. lol. Anyways, for those of you also worried about this, some people swear by it and I was able to get the brush and jobaba oil on amazon for less than $20. I am still somewhat young and have only been overweight for 6 years so I am praying I still have some elasticity left on my poorly damaged body. PLEASE, PLEASE! :)

Skin brushing feels great, when someone else is doing it. I used to get it at as a spa treatment. I have been looking for a good cactus brush, but can't find one for less than $35. I think you have a great odds on your side with the youth/length of time. I am not s lucky, but am still hopeful.

I am also adding the Dove replenishing/rejuvenating body wash to my routine. I scrub with the loofah, just like the dry brushing routine. Can't hurt.

Having excess hanging skin is the only thing I am worried about!

I have a friend who had surgery and she lost a decent sized patch of hair, I am a cosmetologist and my hair and make-up is everything to me.

I want to start lifting weights so I can lose some of the fat in my arms and belly area before surgery that way I will have a little less to worry about.
