I have never bn one for wearing any tummy control-like items like spanx. But I do wear them now post op so that gravity doesn't pull all my excess skin down with the now loosened fat. I prefer the ones that go from just above my knees to below my chest. Even before surgery I was taught to put my lotion and make up with up motions. I've Definitely increased the times I put lotion on in a day. I started using compression sleeves for my upper arms. And when I'm not using neoprene waist trimmer I'll wear The abdominal binder they put on me after surgery if I'm not wearing spanx. l My mother says taking vitamin E orally and using vitamin E oil helps. My health food guru at work says to include collagen. Which supposedly helps with elasticity. So I'm hoping to purchase some soon!! And I'm eager to get into a workout regiment to build muscle for toning and for skin firming. Oh and my nutritionist says using a body scrub helps remove old skin so new one can generate. Hope this is helpful. And Good Luck everyone!

Thank you. Yes I have heard about collagen helping. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok 2 1/2 weeks out of surgery and I'm already seeing saggy cheeks and neck!! Going to try the Vitamin e and fish oil. My mother takes vit. E orally and also applies it around her eyes. But hoping this will do for now since can't do strenuous exercise for another month and a half. Any other recommendations for tightening skin? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
