I haven't had the surgery yet but any pointers on tighten the loose skin that some may get?

Well, I can't speak for others of course, but I use the dry brush technique and I also wet brush as well (in the shower). I found some body cream with hydrolyzed collagen and hydrolyzed elastin in the top 5 ingredients and I use it twice a day on the areas. I also do 400 to 500 reps with the ole Thighmaster imitation everyday. (yes like the one Suzanne Sommers endorsed)

I must say that my skin has/is tightening. I must also say that I don't know if it's because my skin was going to tightening anyway. If nothing else, the cream does keep the area moisturized. When I started loosing, my thighs looked horrible, I mean they were so bad that I didn't let my husband see me without my thighs being covered. They were bad, cellulite, fat pads almost like a "butt" but in the front...but since I started brushing, using the creams, and doing the reps with the thighmaster they look much better. The skin is shrinking along with the fat. Even the cellulite seems to be diminishing as well. I was just saying I think that by the end of next month the area should be normal looking.

There are videos on youtube about dry brushing and I get the cream from hsn dot com in case you wanted to know. I received a gift card for amazon dot com and used it to buy the thighmaster- imitation. It was a good buy. I'm not one to tell folks to run out and buy stuff because what works for some may not work for others.

Exercise and keep hydrated, and exfoliation.

Also be aware that skin will shrink slowly, but it will continue to shrink for approximately 2 years after your surgery date. So there is a good chance that the loose skin you have at the 6month mark may still go away.

thx for the pointers.

Indy, what was the name of the creme from hsn? Thanks

I use Dr. Graf's products. I've been using the her face products for a year now and I read on here that lotions and creams with collagen is good for loose skin so I'm now using the collagen creams too.

I too worry about loose skin. I've actually had nightmares :-(. I am going to try the dry brush technique and lotions mentioned. I will also continue seeing my personal trainer 3x a week.
