There's not really a lot you can do - depends on your age, how heavy you are and how long you have been carrying the weight. I do know of someone who swears by Bio Oil - you can pick it up at Big W or health food shops. It's suppose to stop stretch marks so it may help.

Thanx using the bio oil externally, thought there may have been some Vitamin to take internally, alas otherwise surgery maybe, was hoping wouldnt have to lead to that though.

I agree, there isn't much you can do. No vitamin or trace element etc, is going to speed up the rate your skin shrinks back. It just takes time. It can take up to 2 years. If you're older, you can try skin care with collagen or retinol A which are supposed to help with elasticity, but really only a minute amount.

Does the skin bounce back at all? I did not think that it did ever. Has anybody heard anything about this?

I will have to have a tummy tuck etc.

Thanks

Hers hoping some of the skin will catchup with the weightloss. Otherwise the drastic bit but will make me feel good about myself t/t etc.

Depends on what you started out like as to how it bounces back but I'll be a TT candidate down the track because of the way my belly is now.
