SuzeMuze 338 Posted November 16, 2014 Walking has been the best exercise for me so far, and probably will continue to be for a while. Oddly enough, when I don't feel well (read: bloated, too-full) walking seems to help move things along better too. I don't know of any products that would help with loose skin, nor am I in the market to find any. The propensity for skin to sag is based on a number of things, none of which a drugstore cream can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted November 16, 2014 A few months after surgery, the skin on my face became very wrinkled with fine thin cracks. I looked like I was 100 years old. My wife suggested I use a product called Bio-Oil available at CVS Pharmacy. I used it and the wrinkles went away. I have been using it for a year now and well pleased with it.

tamg26k 479 Posted November 16, 2014 For the first 4 months after surgery I just stuck to walking. Recently I joined a gym and started working out with a trainer and I'm doing pretty much everything. Hopefully with the added exercise I be able to tone as I lose some more. Best of luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallflower7522 328 Posted November 18, 2014 Walk walk walk walk walk I hated it at first. It took me almost 3 months to get into a routine. Now I go to the gym 4 days a week. But I still mostly just walk. I run some, and I do some weights. The skin thing just sucks. My arms are toned on top. I have serious muscle but I still have bat wings. Some people are lucky and snap back, I haven't yet but I'm sill proud of the guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
