I use the MUAC Body peel. http://www.makeupartistschoice.com/5-Acid-Body-Peel_p_212.html

I love MUAC, and I have used their products for years. Their body products work great.

Make sure your brush has natural bristles. http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Bristle-Contoured-Wooden-Handle/dp/B0016ISD04/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1458597073&sr=8-7&keywords=dry+skin+brushing

What I do is dry skin brush, then acid peel, then shower, Follow up with Bio oil on my problem areas, arms/upper inner thighs/stomach, and almond oil all over, once the oil settles and little, I follow up with Vitamin E cream, or MSM lotion.

Thanks for the info! I'm adding it to my list of things to get within the next week. Countdown is on!

I am doing a few things ( I have until May 17th)... I'm found hair, skin, and nail chewable gummie Vitamins at costco that I'm taking religiously and really hoping that one helps with not losing my hair too! But also I've been using a sugar and oil scrub in the shower everyday along with a good Shea butter lotion. I mix some Shea butter, coconut oil, and Vitamin together and add sugar to it for my body scrub. I'm also drinking lots of Water too.

That's one thing I need to do better with, water! I need to put a reminder on my phone or something! Thanks for responding!

      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.
