Do any of you use firming lotions? What do you use?

I use the Jergens Firming lotion twice a day. It won't help with loose skin (nothing will) but it does help lessen the wrinkly appearance. It makes it look a little smoother.

But like I said, it won't actually tighten loose skin.

ladyjordan: Do you feel like the gym is helping with loose skin? Do you do crunches or anything?

my doctor says as long as I lose slowly.....1-2 lbs, skin should ot be a problem. I have a really hard time believing that. Where is it going to go?(sigh ~) I would be lying if I wasn't nervous about getting wrinkles......it is inevitable.......but maybe I am hoping for my "youthful" skin to accompany my future "youthful" body. Crazy huh?

Crayola to be honest my thighs where terrible and I went into panic mode, I was like omg nooooo but I have noticed since I have been going to the gym they look soooo much better I even where shorts now....Yayyyy the good thing about lap band is you loose the weight slowly so that gives your body time to firm up, but I promise working out helps the process so much I hit the gym at least 3-4 times a week, now I working on these bat wings my arms..lol it hasn't tighten up yet but I am going to keep doing the weights and see if they will help, but it takes a lot of work to get these bodies to look the way we want them to ...good luck on your journey

Firming at the gym is best. Most firming lotions do not really work.

I definitely use firming lotions. The gym will help build muscle, but will not fix loose skin. That will depend on your age and genetics. The lotion does help with appearance and helps to keep your skin hydrated which we all need anyway.

I use It Works defining gel and love. I was banded in 2009 and had issues with loose skin. I use the wraps and defining gel and my skin is more firm than I ever imagined. Still working at it, but its 80% better. Not to mention the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite is almost gone.

Here is where I get my products.

      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!
