I have lost 110lbs... I am 50 lbs from my goal so I am not ready for a tummy tuck...yet. But my issue has been... nothing I do has reduced the density of my belly fat. I would be happy to see loose skin at this point. To fit a pair of pants properly, I have to buy a size bigger than what works for my legs =(. In itself not a problem, beside looking like a diaper. Lol. So dresses are best right now.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to reduce the dreaded belly flap?

Lower your cortisol level & stress

Thank you. .. I will look I to lowering cortisol. .. tips are appreciated =).

Reducing stress (exercise, meditation, breathing exercises) lowers cortisol

Easier said than done, right?

I need to do more of these, myself

I also heard there's a new med that reduces cortisol.

cortisol is the biggest factor for piling on / maintaining belly fat.

Def. check with your healthcare team for ideas, suggestions, regarding the cause as well

Thanks!

My apron..belly flap..is worse after losing 50 lbs in the two months after my surgery... I know I need to find a girdle or something... this sucks..my surgeon said most insurance makes patients wait two years after surgery before they'll pay...

Yes momma_d... my insurance has a 1 year requirement. I've got myself a decent girdle but... that makes it harder to tolerate some foods as my guts are getting squished. =/ It's just time to say good bye to this not so lovely handle.

Ill have to wait...i see girdle shopping in my future
