Hello everyone,

It has been a while since I posted. I started at 370LBS and now I rest between 176-181. I have met goal weight. Here is my question. Can the loose skin around your midsection, belly and love handles get worse with time? I am not gaining weight but I noticed in the past few months my pants are fitting tighter. I am afraid I am gaining weight but the scale just bounces from 176-181. I got as low as 161 at one point but the doctor made my gain some weight because it was a health risk. I am frustrated. My "newer" pants feel tight, I have even had to go up a notch on my belt to be more comfortable. However, strange enough, my shirts fit the same! I still wear a size small in mens. Pants can be a 32 to 33 waist.

Thanks,

Don

I, too, have experienced settling since I got to goal. I am pretty sure the remaining fat redistributes itself over time and that is why many plastic surgeons want ppl to wait a few months after reaching goal.

Good luck,

I hope thats what it is. I am at the point where I doubt myself and just wonder if I am gaining. So you are saying weight does settle that way? What does everyone else think? Btw, I am in louisville, ky. I am thinking about a tummy tuck and getting the love handles done as well. I was going to get it done in seperate procedures because of work. What is the going rate around here? I just hope I am not gaining! jeez..it can get so depressing!
