That's what the surgeon told me. Lotion will make you smell good but not put the skin back together. Surgery is the only option.

Really? What kind if lotion your using? I use the firming lotion & saw no results and I did it for like 3 months before WLS.

I use dove and olay and keeping skins mositure is what you are trying for to keep the elasticity of the skin. It is working for me so I will keep rubbing down in it! I know I will have a little skin but I can live with that!

I love the dove body wash... It makes my skin soo soft then my hubby lotions me up from head to toe twice a day!!! But I use bath and body works cream... I don't have any hanging skin except my upper arms (which is tightening some) and my saggy boobs!

      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.
