I seriously doubt that mine will go away. I have had three pregnancies, two c-sections, one set of twins. My poor stomach is never going to be the same.
From what I have read, you are supposed to give your skin two years after weight loss. My DH and I have always said if I can maintain for one year I can get a tummy tuck. So one year after I reach goal I will go for a consult and take it from there.0 -
stenght training really helped with my tummy after giving birth to my 6th child0

Lots and lots of core work and a clean diet. I do tons of strength training, some cardio, and lots of core at home, I can't afford a gym membership.
Those were taken about 3 months post C-section.
That was 8 months post C-section. I still have stretch marks and weird skin but it looks much better than before. I gained over 80 lbs during my pregnancy, so I got very big!
Obviously some cases are more extreme (extreme disastis recti) sp? And require surgery to repair. From what I hear though, most cases can eventually return to normal.0 -

I've also considered a tummy tuck if I can stick with this! I would hate to spend that kind of $ but this thing is really got my self esteem down.0

Is yours just loose skin? or is it fat?
My stomach still hangs over in a horrible way, but that's because I still have 35 lbs to lose. It shrinks every week so I'm not worried about it. It'll be gone when my BF is at a healthy %.0
