I bought Loreal Revitalift. I hear nothing but good things about it.. It is fairly expensive so I will just use it on my face and neck. I also heard there is a Jergens skin firming lotion. I am going to look for that bad boy at Walgreens today.

I started wearing the tightest sports bras I could fit into from 2 weeks post op. my tummy is saggy, my arms and legs too, but even though I've gone from a c cup to an a cup, my boobs don't jiggle at all. Compression works great. Getting myself some skinny jeans and a leather jacket to live in from now on.

Seriously, do the firming creams do anything?

Who knows, I would rather be safe then sorry. If it helps out a little bit then that's awesome. Plus you get nice soft glowing skin afterwards. I would rather do it myself. Nothing wrong with putting extra Vitamins on your skin.

I'm going to do wraps. I'm even thinking about selling them if they work. I think it would be fun to do the parties. Plus I'm part owner of a Hair/Nail salon so I have a good exposure there

Are wraps supposed to make your skin more firm?

You can try the creams and wraps.

Genetics, age, and skin elasticity pretty much determine whether or not your skin will firm up or not.

But, if you have money to burn giving products a try, just keep track of what does and does not work as this question comes up a lot

Wraps are kind of temporary. I've never heard of any lasting results. They cost a lot. I recommend taking collagen supplements. Try this: dry brush(helps circulation), wash with sulfate free body wash( helps retain moisture), exfoliate(2x a week, gets additional dead skin off), moisturize with a good body cream( nivea is good). Supplement with silcon and collagen( you can find a good hair, skin and nails supplement at GNC or walgreens).

Also, wear a compression garment to hold things in. Gravity will only stretch and pull as you lose weight. It'll help. It'll never prevent it totally, but it'll help. Weight lifting will help, also.

Good luck!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
