    Thanks for this post . I am 6 lbs from goal & I was going to revise it because I still have the pouch. My C-section was 16 yrs ago. It is much smaller but, I feel it will never go away completely. I guess Spanx purchases are still part of my future.

    I have friends that you cant tell they even had a c-section scars are faded that much and no saggy skin....as for me you can still tell but in a few months Im sure I will post more on a topic like this.

    I had three c-sections by age 30. I was heavier before my pregnancies but when I knew I was done having children, I decided to lose weight. I dropped 25 pounds and have kept it off for 10 years. Other than the scar from the c-sections, you cannot tell that I had one. My stomach has no pooch that I can see and seems relatively flat. I guess I am lucky.

    mine hasn't and I've already lost 143 lbs with only 15 more to go. It has shrunk but still very there!!

    This ^^^^^
    Since I had had a C-section (bikin cut) , what has been said thus far is so discouraging. :ohwell:
    Question if anyone has the answer, why do the doctors call it a bikini cut?
  • It's called a "bikini" cut; because it's on the bikini line.
