Has anyone found a product or non-surgerical procedure for firm skin when you have all this extra skin from losing weight?

Sorry, nothing really works except time and surgery. However, the younger you are the better it firms up over time.

Lotions etc. make your skin soft and look somewhat better, but it is not a long term fix. If anyone has a miracle lotion, I would love to see it.

Yes. I am doubtful that it can tighten the large areas of loose skin many of us have. I usually think of it for tightening "turkey neck". Consults are usually free, let us know what you find out.

Has anyone tried the ItWorks! Wraps? I have seen some really great result photos from friends who have had the sleeve/bypass/lapband. Do a search and find a distributor in your area!!

I did thermage on a cruise. I had 3 sessions and lost a ton of inches from Water. As soon as I rehydrated it came back.

I used the ITWorks wraps and gel for a while. It was great. Nothing is permanent until you get under the knife.

I have lots of wraps I never used I can sell to you at a super discounted rate if you want them.

I am no longer a distributor and I am not using them either so if you want to try them I would be happy to send them if you pay a little over shipping.

I'd be interested - I know they don't work long-term but for an evening out they'd help, right?

I love ItWorks wraps and can verify they work. I also buy the ItWorks greens, which are full of potassium and magnesium and great for digestion. I have the best and kindest distributor who always has time to answer my questions and I just place my order online and it comes to my door. I just ordered their hair, skin and nail Vitamins. Great company and you can't go wrong with the wraps! Here's the website I use to order if you want to check it out: kristins.myitworks.com

      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!
