Has anyone ever tried dry skin brushing and/or coconut oil for loose skin? I heard it is really good for that.

I haven't until now, lol... but u can be sure I will be googling

Congrats! I too have the same struggle. I gained 75#, and stayed "comfortably thick" for quite a while after I had my son. I have been losing for the past year and a 1/2, and I have the same issue. Mine is predominantly on my belly. I have done lots of reading, and have a few points I hope will help.

Drink Lots of Water to keep you hydrated from the inside.

Keep healthy- Eating, workouts, Low salt, adequate Protein, no smoking

Keep your skin moisturized from the outside- I use St. Ives Skin Firming Lotion. It helps your skin feel hydrated, without a heavy, greasy feel. I can't prove it meets up to the claims of "Skin Firming", but I noticed a difference in the quality of my skin. And it's not expensive at all! I use it about 3 minutes after I towel dry from a shower. I love it!

Try Fish Oil supplements. I just started taking them not too long ago, so I can't make a claim either way, but it is supposed to help for various reasons.

Some people have more elastisity in their skin, and some have less. It will take time to go back, and it may never go back to perfect. But don't focus on the minor imperfections that you see. Think about the great accomplishments you made! You look great!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
