Pouch

I'm being sleeved on feb 25 I'm 32 and 5'7 282lbs I had two babies 16 months apart and didn't really have a huge stomach before the two pregnancies but now I'm left with s huge pouch that hangs and the Dr says its basically flab that after surgery might go away with the weight loss and exercise! Has anyone had similar experiences and what were the results after surgery?

My oldest are 14 months apart, but I've always had a hang-y "pouch". It looks a lot better after surgery (I'm 7 months out), it's really deflated, but it still hangs. Yuck!! Wish I could tell you surgery was the cure, but it wasn't for me.

@@melhach when you have that pouch and lose weight rapidly there's no crunches that can do anything for you. The elasticity in our skin just doesn't bounce back as fast as we're losing. Just like those of us with bat wings doesn't matter how much weights we do they are still there
