Ok. So the more I lose the more wrinkles appear on my face and neck. This is very upsetting to me. I do not have anyone to talk to about this so I am asking you all for advice. I also do not have very much money. I would really appreciate some suggestions. Thank you in advance.

When you get an answer, tell me too. I am 62 and it really bothers me. My whole body is getting wrinkles from too much skin.

I noticed the same. When I was 200 pounds heavier I had no wrinkles whatsoever. As my weight went down the fat on my face also went away- leaving me with some fine lines around my eyes and wrinkles on my neck.

I have been using Roc Retinol Deep Wrinkle Cream nightly for a couple months. It doesn't erase them totally but it does help noticeably. I have heard good things about Neutrogena Retinol Rapid Wrinkle Repair, too. (though I haven't tried that one)

I don't think anything can remove them except plastic surgery. But, I still think wrinkles are better than fat. Just my opinion.

​I just started the Neutrogena one about a week ago. My doctor told me to try it. I did try the CVS one a few months ago and it made me itchie around the eyes so I returned it. If I ever have the money, face lift, body lift and arms get done. So you have pain for a few weeks but you come out looking great, or I hope you do.

Ok so this has been a very stressful process for me. I have asked people and looked online and at CVS. I decided to try Nuance a line developed by Selma Hayek for CVS. I only have seen good reviews and she seems very passionate about her line. I picked a cleanser there are a few to choose from then a retinal capsule finished with her anti aging Super Cream Am/pm. I still need to find a tinted lotion for the day. Her products are much less then others and today they were buy one get one half price. I do itch a tiny bit but my face is probably in shock that I am paying attention to it. I am 46 and I have never used products. Just wash face in shower with dove. To the touch my face feels silky smooth. So shall see. Any suggestions for a tinted day lotion with SPF? I think my mom uses a loreal. The one problem with these products is it seems no store carries all the products or even the same ones. They do sell then Amazon but I haven't looked through them yet.

So just wanted to let everyone know that I have started to get compliments on my skin. I really like the nuance products and have added a few more to my routine.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
