My elbows are a darker color, I’ve scrubbed, I’ve used fade lotions, I’ve tried every home remedy. It’s not dry caked on skin it’s just a pigmentation discoloration- to clarify.

Did this go away after weight loss? Hoping it does because it only appeared after weight gain

Do you have PCOS? With that you get pigmentation in the dangest places, like the inside surface of your thighs. Old mother's remedy- lemon juice. Cut [emoji522] in half across its fat little middle, that way you have 2 halves.You can squeeze most of the juice out if you want and set it aside to make lemonade. Now put your elbows in skwooshed lemon halves, leave them there for say a half hour. Might have to repeat for several days but lemon juice is a lightly bleaching substance and it should work. You'll smell good, when you're thru with them put them down the garbage disposal and grind them up. Should freshen your blades up and make kitchen smell nice. You are welcome![emoji14]

      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.
