vitamins to help with elacsticity/skin sagging



Recommended Posts

I would think Vitamin E would be an important one. I even take the capsules and pierce them and rub the oil on my face sometimes after a face mask.

Any ideas on what Vitamins to take to help with skin elacsticity? stop/help stop sagging?:wub:

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
