Just had surgery...things I can do now to help minimize loose skin?



Recommended Posts

I'm just a day out of surgery, and wondering whether there is anything I can do now that will help my skin retain its elasticity? Has anyone tried supplements, lotions, exercises, etc., to care for their skin as they are loosing weight, and help prevent saggyness? Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Try dong a search on "loose skin". There's a thread here and here that discusses this at length.

After surgery, my face developed very fine wrinkles. I looked like I was 100 years old. That is bad because I am only 66. My wife suggested I use a product on my face called BioOil. I bought it at CVS and apply it once every morning. It took away the wrinkles. It has worked for over a year now.

      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! 😞
