    I don't know.... I had a c-section with my first but never got the pouch, only an indentation at the incision site. Hope somebody will be able to tell you more though!

    Hey, hun. I only have had on CS and I still have a little belly pouch but I also have a little more weight to lose. I am currently about 30 from goal then my DH and I are going to conceive again. I was hoping for a VBAC this time, but Ill have to find a Dr who does them.

    I know I will always have a little excess skin with having the CS/Pregnancy/extra weight, but I own it. Its all apart of my journey, and I could always have surgery to remove it, but only DH sees it and he is not complaining! :)

    BUT yes, with weight loss mine thankfully went down A LOT.

    Hope this helps....
  • This is amazing inspiration! You look great.

    Once you tighten up in your abdomen, above your c-section scar, you won't have an overhang! I've lost 24/30 lbs after 3 c-sections and as you can see from some of the pix on this thread, it's possible to get rid of the pouch!

    I use a firming lotion as I lose weight and I found that that helps. I also found that strengthening my core helps a great deal.

    Still working on mine but I'm gonna be taking tummy photos soon since I finally hit the no jiggly belly when doing jumping jacks. I have seen people able to get rid of it. I'm sure gonna try on my own without tummy tuck.

    Yay! This post is giving me so much hope. I have been so frustrated as my pants are getting big in the waist and legs but the next size down is still too tight across the belly. Apparently it can happen. Thank you!

    13 years later and I don't really have much of a pouch as long as I stay in my ideal weight with exercise and watching calories. I dont have a picture now or I would share but I have posted them in the past.

    I've had 2 Cs as well and as I continue to work out, it is going down. I used to think it would never go away but now I do think it will. In fact I believe it! The more I eat well and exercise, the less giggle there is. I am fitting into skinny jeans that I never thought I'd wear and they close up just fine over my tummy. So keep at it and it will go down!

    I hope so! I have only had one c section about 6 months ago and still have my tummy. I have a lot of weight to lose but hopefully it will go down!

    I've had 2 c-sections as well. I had my first in January 2007 & my second January 2012. I still have a pouch. I'm currently doing Insanity. I've completed the first month and have noticed a difference in my stomach. It really helped!!! I'm not sure how many inches I've lost in my waist but I can definitely see the difference. I thought there was no hope at all for me. I still have a lot to work on. I am going to try and push until I get the results that I am satisfy with.

    Insanity is CRAZY!!! It's 60 days of high intensity interval training. It leaves you huffing and puffing, sweating and cussing, stinking and ACCOMPLISHED! Google it...its scary looking and its far from easy but it works. I swear by it and I LOVE it!!

    Mine is definitely getting smaller, but I have a lot more to lose, so I'm hoping!! :)

    In addition to having a c-section in 1999, I ended up needing 5 hernia's repaired in 2003. My entire stomach is mesh from one side to the other. I don't have much hope of ever losing my pouch because of the hernia repair :( I would be happy to have only the pouch I had from my c-section!
