Skin hanging...

aranajt3

Does anybody else have ALOT of skin/fat hanging? I think if I could cutoff all that is hanging I would be 30 pounds lighter. I am not sure how to get rid of this. I can show pics if interested in sharing ideas. I have lost 60 pounds and exercise has helped some, but it seems like not much.

Skin will only tighten up so much after being stretched. A good plastic surgeon can help when you reach and maintain goal for a while.

Thanks. I have been told I am a good candidate for surgery, but I honestly cannot afford to take off work and being a mom long enough to recover.

First, congratulations on 60lbs!!! I am really short and had two c-sections (I see you have 3 kids) and I know I will always have this "flap aka apron" forever unless I get surgery. But I don't have the money and my insurance won't cover it. I was 282 before my son was born at a whopping 11lbs 3oz. I am now still 235lbs, and my belly just gets flabbier and flabbier. If.. no, WHEN I get to my goal weight I will probably be able to roll it up and tuck it in my bra. My mom and Aunt have the same type of belly Save up for surgery if you can. My husband works and I really don't have anyone that will watch my kids for the aftercare/recovery. So maybe one day when they are older.

Congrats on the weight loss. go and see your family Dr sometimes when you have the excess skin , your skin gets irritated. You develope a rash that won't go away, sometimes they can get your inusrance company to cover this procedure. Hope this helps

I have the same problem in the tummy after 3 csections and way too long of being massively overweight. And I don't think this last 40 pounds is going to get rid of it. Blah!
