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

      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.

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