Hi, just wondered does anybody have any good suggestions as to the best body cream for firming the skin after surgery, thanks.

Depending on your age and amount of weight lost; you WILL have loose skin and no cream in the world is going to fix it. The trade off to a big wt. loss is loose skin. The trade off to surgery for loose skin is a scar. AGAIN; age and amount lost dependent.

Thank you for the suggestions, your right rte837 I'm gonna have it and I'm prepared for it but will try anything that may help along the way also. 8 days to surgery so just getting myself sorted ????

There are people who end up not having loose skin. It does depend on age and highest weight, a lot of people will have loose skin. But not everyone.

GBLady41 is absolutely right.

I worried myself SICK about loose skin prior to surgery (that sounds so vain, but it's a concern!).

I'm 149lbs down and I have some pooching around my belly (fortunately nothing around my arms or legs), and I am DAMN PROUD of it. Maybe someday I'll look at getting that tiny bit removed, but I am so proud of that little bit of skin, b/c it means that that weight is GONE. That belly - is GONE. It sounds crazy now, because I was so worried about it before surgery, but you begin to focus on all of the positives afterward.

Being health > a bit of loose skin any day of the week!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
