I was sleeved on April 10, 2013 and I have lost 38 pounds to date from my starting weight of 253. I'm thrilled with the weight loss, but not with the horrible stretch marks on my thighs (I still have the fattest thighs on the planet), which strangely look like a giraffe's coat. HELP!! Anyone know of any stretch mark products that really work?

I've heard Strivectin works, but I haven't tried it although I've got some in the closet. Maybe someone else here has tried it.

Great job on the weight loss! sorry about the stretch marks. i have heard that it is hereditary and not much you can do about it. thankfully they will fade over time.

Unfortunately, if there was a sure fire cure we would know all about it. There's probably something that lessen the marks, but nothing tht makes it disappear. I have plenty of stretch marks, but only n my tummy from being preggers w/ three 10lbs babies. my thighs are way ugly and I haven't worn shorts for 25 years. But I'm happy with my weightloss so I'm ok

Congrats on your loss.. :D

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
