There is no cure to get rid of stretch marks but to soften them just moisturizer A LOT !

Try BioOil - it helped me through past weight loss & I've got into it early after surgery. Whatever you use it needs to be regular use (2-3 times a day) to be effective. They will never disappear but they will get finer so they are not as noticeable..

They will never go away :( but I have always used coconut oil. Have a bottle of it by my shower and put it all over right after I get out. At night I even put it on my face. I buy mine at trader joes but you can get it in the food isle were the cooking oils are etc. I love it!

I have read about skin rolling for stretch marks. It is supposed to rebuild the collagen in those areas. I've never tried it (seems too medieval for me) but it seems like the only thing sub-dermal. Topical creams etc, don't really work. Good luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
