Is anyone or has anyone prepped any potential problem skin areas that may have excess skin afterwards? Any advice ahead of time on this? I think my stomach is going to have some excess skin.

I am in limbo before my surgery is scheduled as well, I worry about the same thing and have been using Nivea Firming lotion for the last few weeks. My uncle who had gastric bypass 6 years ago told me to use Mederma every other day, but vitamin E with firming lotion twice daily. Good luck to us both on the way to our journey.

Thanks! I have been using the same firming lotion alternating with an oil each day.

Hmmm...let us know if that works :-)

Stomach, neck and upper arms are a problem for me! Let me know if the Mederma works! Please!!!
