It may fade, but it won't go away completely. It depends on your genes, weight, skin-type, etc. There are creams and lotions that may help, but nothing is 100% proven.

It totally depends on your skin type. Unfortunately, I still have my cottage cheese thighs :rolleyes:

I've noticed that my legs had that cottage cheese look, until I started using my elliptical. For me it has really helped tone my legs. They are much smoother now than they were before. But as other said before me it will depend on how your own body works. Everyone is so different that one thing isn't going to work for everybody. But I really have found that exercise helps.

Probably not completely. I would wear a short skirt or dress with confidence as my problem area has shrunk. My legs are very toned from lots of running, but my bum is still very very wobbly and its dimply, the cellulite is just not on my thighs anymore. I cannot believe actually how flabby my backside is for the amount of exercise I do, the only thing that would fix it is surgery, and I'm just really not willing to consider a full body lift - too expensive, too horrible to recover from, scarring just as bad as the problem etc.

So I definitely have much less cellulite and flab, but I do still have it.

Well damn! That was one of the things I was so looking forward too was having my legs back!! When I was thin (but didn't know I was thin-psych issue) I did not have any dips, dimples, cellulite just smooth toned long legs & a tad bit on my backside, but now..... I know it's super super vain but I pray I get them back.

Somebody give me some hope, did anybody not have it b/f and it went away after...plz plz (fingers crossed)?!?!?

Water is suppose to help with cellulite. Rubbing your legs with lotion will help too. Like a massage to help break down the pockets. There is a cream made by Aveno that was on Oprah and another show a couple of weeks ago. They showed womens before and after... seemed to help.

I have had good results using these weight training videos. You can purchase dvd's that will target certain problems, i.e. cellulite, saggy skin. I have had good results but it is work.

They also say using a rolling pin on the problem area helps break up the fatty tissue so it will disolve and go away. I have actually had some luck with htis, mixed with diet and excercise. I dont' have a lot of the cellulite, even as large as I am, but you massage it, whether that is with a rolling pin or just rubbing lotion on, and it helps break it down.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
