Belly Fat is stubborn

I had the sleeve done 3/15/17 I'm down about 56 pounds since surgery and 70 from my highest weight of 290. I now have collar bones double chin is gone face is slim but my stomach is still big and still have back rolls ! How long does it take for the stomach to disappear into loose skin if that makes sense ?

I hate to say this, but your stomach might not change shape. It may get smaller, but every WLS patient I know still has their basic body shape. I've always had a big stomach. Now that I'm nearly three years past surgery, I still have a big stomach. I weigh a lot less & my stomach is smaller, but it's still big for my size. For other people, their hips are still big, maybe their butt is still big, whatever. I hope this makes sense. Good luck!
