Hi Fressa, I will be very interested to look into the Dr. Denese product you mentioned, because the "condition" with my under arms is exactly what is called "crepey" skin.  Very, very fine wrinkles, but about 100 of them!!  I thank you for writing.

First of all......LOVE the Snoopy picture.  I've adored him forever!!  I appreciate the compliment of the weight loss.  It did take a lot of work, except for the 1st 100 lbs. that pretty much just flew off because of the surgery.  The last 34 has been harder because it becomes a mental game, so much more than physical.  You get SO tempted to back to old habits, and being overweight most of my life, I'll always want to eat.  It's just being strong enough to stay on course so I will never have to go through being at that weight again.  It was a horrible way to live.  Take care, and thanks again.

When you lose that much weight there is no product that is going to put your skin back together nicely.  You would need to have plastic surgery to correct the problem.  That's what people have to do that lose 500 lbs.  Congratulations on your weight loss.  That is a great accomplishment.  If you don't have money for the surgery or don't want it, just wear longer sleeves and think of your accomplishment.

First of all congratulations! Secondly have you checked into donating the extra skin? I believe that can help defray much of the cost of the procedure to tighten up

Congratulations CJ111 upon your weight loss! I too have lost over one hundred pounds. I find myself in the same position as you. I have excess skin that will not tighten, no matter how much I exercise. I have discussed this with my doctor and learned about reduction surgery. 

Some health insurance companies will pay for excess skin removal surgery if it presents health problems. Some people experience skin disorders underneath the excess skin at their abdomen. If the skin is difficult to keep clean, other skin problems can result. Adults with excess skin, experiencing skin rashes, infections and even sores, can seek help. 

Good luck! HTH
