Anyone trying any home remedies for tightening loose skin.. Ha... Given up on the husband winning the lottery so I can have p,attic surgery.. Trying the old egg white on e face and neck.. I must admit as its drying it does feel tighter lol.. Even put it on my upper arms. Wonder how many eggs it would take for my whole body :-(

Well on the fish oil issue you can break those open and spread it on food. That la what I do for my dogs.

My remedy has been good ole hard work in the gym. It has taken care of a lot of loose skin. It has not taken care of my boobs however. Although I am fairly certain egg whites and fish oil can not help them either! Only a surgeon or support bras can help them. They have officially gone south for the winter and it is still summer here in Texas!

I'm 48, and I breastfed twins for over a year....the girls are a lost cause. Thankfully, my husband just want me to get healthy.

I spoke to several surgeon and they all said no e exercise or miracle cream will get your skin back to how it was and who ever said it will its a liar. The only option is plastic surgery.

I will however attempt to go back to exercise simply cuz I know I will feel good inside. Kids will be in school so I have all the time in the world to maybe attempt something with my arms. Saggy will be there but maybe a little muscle won't be a bad idea after all.

I was told to take fish oil because it helps with skins elasticity.

I don't know if it's the same, similar, or totally different but check out krill oil. The capsules are pretty small.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
