Do you have a favorite lotion?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 1/10 with 20# gone from my 100# goal!!

I am happy with how easy this has been. I am thinking ahead of the loose skin that I know will happen. I was going to start using lotion to help the skin with the elasticity.

What brand have you used or heard to use? There is too many to choose from and I would rather get one that someone uses and works.

Thank you

I was just advised to take any thick lotion or oils that have a large % of Vitamin E....that's what will help tighten your skin....I'm using several different kinds but palmers that you see on tv for pregnancy stretch marks and all is a good one....anything like that is what you want. I lotion up 2 times a day....of course it will be hard to see the difference for a while but a guy friend of mine swears by it.

I'm glad you asked this question... I'm curious to see what people say. I hope to be sleeved in March and have already started to try to get in the habit of full body lotion every day to keep my skin hydrated in the hopes that will reduce hanging/wrinkly skin. I use Kirkland (Costco) brand lotion. It comes in a 2pack and it's really think and smells nice but not too strong. I'm 44 and have carried 50-100 extra pounds around for about 15 years, and I'm most concerned about my thighs.

I meant to say "thick" not "think"!

Thanks, I found the palmers at target. I am now going to health store to buy Vitamin E oil. I hope this will at least help the skin issue.

Thank you.

My cousin had sleeve surgery last year and lost 100+ lbs. one of his pointers for me was to find lotion that was thick, had collagen and Vitamin E. his skin looks great and shows no signs of loose skin.

I read also the lotion should have Keratin.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
