My friend had one last February.  For a few weeks she was really sore, and couldn't really do anything.\n\nShe looks fabulous now, she has always had a weight problem but only weighs one pound more than when she had the op.  It has encouraged her not to put any more weight on as she would look silly fat everywhere else with a super slim tum.\n\nLook to the future, in a few weeks you will feel and look fantastic.

I started the atkins diet once and carried on for six months.  I was a size 20 and after six months size ten.  \nNever had a problem with loose skin.  I had lost appetite whilst on the diet which meant it took me another to years to come back to a size twenty.\n\nI was contemplating going on the diet again but found out recently that eating red meat in large quantities has been proven to increase breast cancer.\n\nThe trick whenever u r dieting is to drink a minimum of three litres of water and u wont have a problem with loose skin and dont even bother with moisturisers, they dont even go skin deep, if u know what i mean!!!

It is possible to loose body weigh but gain body fat.  Here is how.  Muscle weighs more than body fat.  Suppose you worked out in the gym a lot for a year.  Let's say you weighed 190 lbs.  A good portion of this weight is comprised of muscle weight.  Let's say you stopped working out for 2 years and ate a lot of junk food.  You would lose your muscle mass and gain body fat.  You may end up weighing 175 lbs with a big belly.

It depends on your bone structure.\n\nIf you're small boned, then you need to loose weight.\nIf you're large boned, you're probably okay.

You're probably pretty solid...I'm 5'6 and 135 is the minimum I can weigh without starting to look too thin...my preferred range is 135 - 145.\n\nI would imagine you look pretty good...keep up the good work, but allow yourself some time for fun too! To maintain your weight, unless your eating habits are very poor, you should be able to do 1 hr a day 4 or 5 days a week...

Well if you've lost alot of weight in a short amount of time, chances are you will have 'saggy' skin. And the only way to get rid of it is plastic surgery. You can only do so many crunches and sit ups, but if you still have that excess skin you need to get it taken off surgically. Good luck!  : )

It really depends on the person. After taking it for 2 months I went from 151 lbs. to 118 lbs. (a size 12 to a 6) All I did was watch what I ate (low fat diet) and I did not excersize at all. That was two years ago. Of course I did not keep all of the weight off. Right now I weigh 130 lbs., which is fine with me. I try to eat foods that are low in fat and I cut out cokes and sweet tea and started to drink water or diet drinks.

It really depends on your natural skin elasticity.  I also gained A LOT of weight during my pregnancy and after losing it,  was stuck with a lot of stretch marks and loose skin. After a while though, it wasn't as drastic as it was.  Remember, for pregnancies, it's 9 months up, 9 months down. But you will NEVER have the same body again.  Sometimes it gets better, sometimes worse... but it's all worth it when we see our kids, right?\n For some women, they are fortunate enough to regain elasticity naturally.  Some will swear by cocoa butter or expensive gels and creams.  \nMy suggestion is to work out, eat healthy, try the cocoa butter approach to help moisturize your skin and if it still doesn't work, then maybe a tummy tuck or body lift is your only option.  Either way, Good luck!

I have a friend who lost 100+ pounds and her doctor had told her the way to prevent the loose skin is to lose the weight slowly and exercise.  You probably aren't going to prevent it in the lower belly area though.....that's the only place she has sagging skin....and it still doesn't look THAT bad.\n\nNicole

Depends on what month you're in...the first 4 months your tummy is pretty flat,so I guess you can stil suck it in and your skin still "'rolls"'when you sit.After the fifth month your baby/belly gets bigger and your skin starts to stretch,no more sucking in/rolling then!

I bought one of those roller things that you roll on the floor forward and back while kneeling. It has burned a lot of fat on my tummy. But I still have a little extra pudge from being prego. I think that sometimes your skin stretches and when you lose the weight, Presto- excess skin. It doesn't always go back to the way it was.

Just so you know there is no possible way to loose wieght in "spots". For males the usuall last spot to loose wieght is the stomach area and for females its the thighs. A hormone called cortisol can also cause fat build up around the waist. My advice eat healthier, play harder and keep that stress down. Good luck

I feel that you don't need to loose any weight. I'm have a one year old girl and i weight around that amount. You are beautiful in your own way and you should feel beautiful.

I believe that they show up more after you have lost weight.  When you are gaining weight, the skin is taut.  After losing weight, the skin is loose and flabby.
