Do your stomach get smaller? As you lose the weight? or just the Skin sag?

I know this might be

TMI (To much info) but i really miss seeing my Private..lol

Will my stomach get flatter?

Thats the part of my body i hate the most.[emoji31]

@@Kendell Thatsme - it depends on a lot of different factors like age, genetics, how much exercise, etc.

I have lost quite a bit in my stomach area and it is where I generally lose weight first, but the skin hasn't bounced back like it did years ago.

My upper arms & boobs (I am 53) same thing -

Depends on where you carry your weight and how much excess weight you lose. I was pear shaped with the bulk of my weight in my butt and thighs. So when I lost I didn't have a lot of excess abdominal or upper arm skin. In fact, I nearly have six pack abs, my hip bones protrude more than anything else and I can definitely see more "parts" just by looking down. My butt and thighs, however have wrinkly, droopy skin covering them and I'll never look good in a pair of shorts. But if you are apple shaped, or a higher starting BMI, you may end up with a large flap of skin hanging down past your waistline. My friend who had bypass and lost roughly the same as me has skinny, smooth legs but a lot of loose belly and back skin.

The more you lose, the more your stomach will shrink. I carried a lot in my tummy, but have also lost quite a bit there too. It's not flat by any means, but it doesn't stick out further than my boobs anymore! I've got some skin that makes it look a little bigger that really will only be corrected through surgery. In the mean time I excersise regularly and the muscles that are there aren't too shabby

@@Babbs when my stomach no longer stuck out further than my boobs - that was a teary eye day.

@@Christinamo7 - OMG! ROTFLMAO (above) YES!!!!

My stomach is where most of my weight is It sticks out far more than my breast do ???? look like I'm about 5 months pregnant. And its hangs down giggles not hard like when you pregnant.

Lift weights and do as much varied ab work as you can. My mom had bypass and although far from perfect (there is a lot of loose skin) she did say that 2 years after she reached her goal weight that the lose skin has shrunk by half. I am only 9 months out.
