I was sleeved on April 10, 2013 and I have lost 38 pounds to date from my starting weight of 253. I'm thrilled with the weight loss, but not with the horrible stretch marks on my thighs (I still have the fattest thighs on the planet), which strangely look like a giraffe's coat. HELP!! Anyone know of any stretch mark products that really work?

I've heard Strivectin works, but I haven't tried it although I've got some in the closet. Maybe someone else here has tried it.

Great job on the weight loss! sorry about the stretch marks. i have heard that it is hereditary and not much you can do about it. thankfully they will fade over time.

Unfortunately, if there was a sure fire cure we would know all about it. There's probably something that lessen the marks, but nothing tht makes it disappear. I have plenty of stretch marks, but only n my tummy from being preggers w/ three 10lbs babies. my thighs are way ugly and I haven't worn shorts for 25 years. But I'm happy with my weightloss so I'm ok

Congrats on your loss.. :D

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
