Will anything help with my saggy stomach?

[rydersmama 804]

The majority of my weight is centred around my middle, so as a result I have a pretty low, hangy stomach apron.

Now that I've lost a good amount of weight, I find it's harder to keep it from "popping" out of the bottom of my panties...I'm sorry tmi...because the skin is getting looser.

I would really appreciate any advise on what I could buy that would keep this darn thing under control!!

in the meantime I would choose a style of panties that will not let it pop out the bottom, more of a regular brief style.

I love the brief style at Soma.com that has the lace at the waist. they do not look or feel like granny panties to me. (although as I am a Grandmother, take that fashion advice with a grain of salt, lol) you may want something like a Spanx style shorts or some such that would hold it all in together.

My mother lost 150 pounds about 24 years ago (has kept off more than 100 of it despite heel problems!!) and she just wears jeans with some spandex and tucks it into her jeans. she hates doctors and so plastics are not going to happen for her.

Where do you buy those? And do you find they roll down at the waist?

I have an apron that has become more noticeable (at least to me) in recent months. I wear a bodysuit like this:

Love that they snap between the legs & they stay in place all day. I have a black and a nude and a white tank that doesnt snap, but sits low past my hips.

[rydersmama 804]

Yes @WorkinOnMe...I feel the same way too. I think my apron is WAY more noticeable now than it ever was. And it's annoying me WAY more now than ever too....flapping and such.

I bought a faja placed it on 2 days after surgery. U was told that helps along with a Tummy Tuck. I have to wait until one yr anniversary date 11/12/16 for me.

I have always worn binder shorts for underwear because of my apron. I guess I will continue because add I lose, it gets worse.

Ah, even non bariatric patients have "muffin tops." Don't despair, during the first 2 years post op as you lose weight, you can still get your skin to shrink to some degree. Drink plenty of liquids, this keeps your skin hydrated and supple. Do weight lifting or specific exercises that target the muscles under the problem skin areas. This helps tighten the skin and tone up muscle that helps fill out the skin and makes it look better. Here are sample exercises and there's more you can Google: http://www.healthyandnaturalworld.com/get-a-flat-tummy-at-home-with-these-simple-exercises
