Dropped Belly

I haven't had surgery yet but I do have a question. My lower belly has dropped and was wondering when I lose weight will I have to have a tummy tuck? This has happend from having two kids and not working out. Has anyone else out there in lap land have this problem? Will most of it go away? Iam so excited about this surgery and Iam running out of questions. I'll be glad when I get my new insurance cards so I can get this ball running!

Ooooh, aaah, what you want is someone to say something encouraging like "of COURSE, it'll all disappear" but really, there's loads and loads of people on here who've needed tummy tucks.

STill, it all comes down to genetics and luck I think, you may have amazing skin that snaps back. Its good to be optimistic and positive, but just with a touch of realism, knowing that a washboard stomach will probably not just magically appear.

Good luck!

Alas - a dropped belly doesnt usually defy gravity to snap back. I have that same problem. I am assuming I will have to get PS in order to ever have a flat tummy.

I am saving for that, now. :]

Reality is Reality If I do not loose the fat my belly will not sag. Its something to deal with. As a guy I never had any idea about dealing with cosmetic issues.

I was wrong
