What do you use for stretch marks?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for something to put on my stretch marks to help them fade. I've heard of cocoa butter, but I'm not a fan of it because it feels too slimy to me. Does anyone have any other suggestions? :)

I don't know if you can get bio-oil in the US but I find that helps ( with my pre-op stretch marks!). If you can't get it maybe you can find something similar

I've been using Nivea q10 skin firming lotion. I use it evey morning after a shower and once a week I've been doing a whole body scrub (I've been using a scrub from the body shop -smells delicious) and last night my husband even commented on how much they have faded. I have stretch marks on my Belly my thighs my arms my sides nd they verbally reduced in colour and intensity.

Nivea is great too because I think I paid $7 au for a Great big bottle as compared to some other products.

I was using palmers coco butter and it left me slimy (my DH commented on how my skin felt with that one too)

Nivea got one great reviews online too.

I used mederma. I had 3 giant right red stretch marks that popped up a few weeks before surgery. One of my incisions goes right through them, so I had to wait until about 2 weeks ago to start using mederma. The scar is still a little red looking, but the stretch marks are already going away.

I was told bio-oil or mederma. When you do research on the active ingredients these producta are great for skin repair. They have the necessary vitamims for nurishment. These products can be found at Walmart, walgreens or any other drug store

      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.
