Hi, just wondered does anybody have any good suggestions as to the best body cream for firming the skin after surgery, thanks.

What the heck is defining gel? Never heard of it. Where do you get it?

Depending on your age and amount of weight lost; you WILL have loose skin and no cream in the world is going to fix it. The trade off to a big wt. loss is loose skin. The trade off to surgery for loose skin is a scar. AGAIN; age and amount lost dependent.

Thank you for the suggestions, your right rte837 I'm gonna have it and I'm prepared for it but will try anything that may help along the way also. 8 days to surgery so just getting myself sorted ????

Be proud of it and wear it as a badge of courage and commitment!

There are people who end up not having loose skin. It does depend on age and highest weight, a lot of people will have loose skin. But not everyone.

GBLady41 is absolutely right.

I worried myself SICK about loose skin prior to surgery (that sounds so vain, but it's a concern!).

I'm 149lbs down and I have some pooching around my belly (fortunately nothing around my arms or legs), and I am DAMN PROUD of it. Maybe someday I'll look at getting that tiny bit removed, but I am so proud of that little bit of skin, b/c it means that that weight is GONE. That belly - is GONE. It sounds crazy now, because I was so worried about it before surgery, but you begin to focus on all of the positives afterward.

Being health > a bit of loose skin any day of the week!
