I am scheduled for VSG on 1/27/14 and was wondering if anyone has any tips for trying to avoid as much excess/droopy skin as possible. I know that there will be some, but what can I do to try and help the situation? Thank you!

Hi Brandi,

The only thing I remember about tightening skin was from Weight Watchers that drinking skim milk would keep skin from getting flabby...hope that helps.

Don't know if it's really going to help, but I am exfoliating in the shower, and then rubbing on sweet almond oil or some other moisturizing lotion afterward. I heard that it makes the skin more supple and easier to transition and your weight goes down. I do know this - my belly is a soft as a baby's bottom.
