I was told by a person that has no stretch marks to use Vitamin E oil on the stretch marks and they will fade, she said that this is what she used. The excess skin, I have no idea except surgery, if you talk to your doctor, he may be able to tell you how to firm your skin up.

Give it time and don't lose any more weight too quickly. Give the skin a chance to get back to its normal shape. As long as your stretchmarks are still purple or red, you can do something about them. (White means they're scar tissue and there to stay.)
Use a scar cream on the area every day. Mederma works really well, but it smells like onions. You can also try scarzone, although I don't know what that smells like.

Patience, time and exercise. I do not know what to tell you about the stretchmarks, they hide a little with time, but I haven't get rid of them in 7 years!

StriVectin and a lot of sit-ups....You can buy it at Macy's or any department store usually.

sorry but no. It might improve a little but that is usually pretty permanent. I would save for surgery or except it.
