Had Gastric and looking for advice

Hi,

my name is shay and I had Lapriscopic Gastric surgery on July 20th and was wondering does anyone have any tips on how to tighten up my skin or control where I loose the weight at? I walk 5 miles everyday and do pilaties 3x a week and i'm looking for any advice anyone might have..

thanks

You can't control where you lose the weight.

As far as skin tightening that can be problematic because of the rapid weight loss. My friend uses cocoa butter and vitamin E enriched lotion and that seems to be helping quite a lot.

Hey There:
If you go to www.obesityhelp.com you will find a wide array of message boards...probably 90% of the people that go there have had some type of WLS, they also have specific boards for specific WLS, plastics, .... You can probably get a more informed answer. Good luck in your Wellness Journey.

My mom walks alot I*she had the surgery done* but ended up having to go back in about 6 months ago and have a tummy tuck as wellas her hips and butt b/c the excess skin. Hope you get some better answers than the one I gave.
