Sleeved on 12/12. Lost 20 lbs so far! I'm worried about my arms!

Any suggestions, tip, or tricks on tightening arms?

I read that using a lotion with Vitamin E and Keratin helps firm skin up. I haven't been able to find one that has keratin in it but there are several "firming" lotions with vitamin E in them. I bought St Ives brand and have been using it 3-4 times a day because I'm worried about my arms and thighs.

Has it been working?

I was just sleeved on 12/10; but I'm sure hoping it works. My husband said squats would help with my thighs as well so I'm starting that tonight. I feel like they told us some Vitamin or supplement pre-op that helps also...I just can't recall right now; when I get home I'll check my notes and let you guys know!

Thank you!

No problem! My insurance doesn't cover "excess skin removal" so I'm doing everything I can on my own and just PRAYING

Me too!

You might try bicep curls. it is slowly, but surely working.

Thank you!

Okwell i didnt find anything in my notes about supplements or Vitamins that that firm skin BUT i did have in my notes that Biotin is excellentfor hair and nail growth as well as healthier skin. So you might try that. I have been taking the Biotin since about a week prior to surgery; it sure grows nails! I think whoever suggested doing curls was probably right as well as my husband telling me to do squats for my thighs. Good luck everyone.

I have been looking for the Vitamin E and keratin too and haven't had any luck. If anyone knows of a lotion with both products in it let us know, thanks.
