Using pregnancy lotion for loose skin?



Recommended Posts

I've been asking all over here in Germany for a lotion to help with elasticity, and have explicitly told the people in the shops I've been to that I'm in the process of losing a large amount of weight. I've mostly been met with stares, and the best I seem to be able to do is a lotion for pregnant women to supposedly prevent stretch marks. Now, I'm not sure if that will actually be just right, or if it's the opposite of what I want (pregnant women want their skin to stretch, we want ours to shrink). What do you guys think? If anyone can recommend some good very mainstream brands then maybe, maybe I could find them on Amazon.de, but so far I haven't had luck...

I read that as well. This has Vitamin E, but no one know what I was on about when I mentioned keratin.

Hi

I have read a suggestion, which I am trying, of almond oil with a small quantity ( few drops) of a citrus aromatherapy oil - lemon or grapefruit- to help shrink the skin.

Best

Christine

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
