  |  "Firming" lotions
I've tried a couple of these lotions but haven't seen much noticeable difference. Have any of you tried any firming lotions with any success? Share! I think I currently have the Suave firming lotion and before that I was using "Bringing Up the Rear" from Bath & Body Works.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

I've made a point to not put it on my incisions. I just use it on my legs, arms, butt, and lower abdoment below my incisions...you know, every place you want a lot of firming!  I'm using Mederma on my scars.

Unless the lotion hoists the skin up and hold it like a forklift I don't think it would help me!  |

I have used the Dove brand "extra firming" lotion. My skin is tightening up and I am very pleased with the way it is looking. But I have also had the body wraps since surgery too. I don't know if these things actually helped or if it is just genetics and I have good skin tone. I was exercising for 2 years prior to surgery at Curves to have good tone before the surgery and continued to exercise at Curves until just recently when I switched to a health club. A lot of the people on the board don't believe in the lotions or body wraps, but I would do it again just in case in made a difference. Some say Curves doesn't work either, but again... I think it helped me. I have a little bit of a roll at my tummy, but I still need to loose about 20 pounds and that should help. I don't have alot of loose skin and I keep seeing a tightening and I think that my body is moving some of the fat to different places.
