I waited till I was well within a normal BMI before I thought about and had my Tummy Tuck.< /p>

JOHNSON AND JOHNSON MEDICATED BABY powder works wonders... im having the same issue and im only a little over 1/2 way to goal

If you have a rash use an anti-fungel cream, like what you'd use for athletes foot. To prevent rashes use deo - you'd be amazed at how well it works. I buy the spray, lift up the apron and spray it on. A little trick I learned on LBT.

Thank you for your suggestions ladies. :crying: I've used baby powder with limited success. The anti-fungal cream made things worse. Right now I'm using an athletes foot powder and it clears up most of it, but there's still some redness there. I'll try the deodorant next. I have sensitive skin at the best of times, so I expect this to be an ongoing problem until the apron is removed. But I'm not physically ready yet for a Tummy Tuck.< /p>

In started looking before I was banded!!LOL Hey you cant blame a girl for being impatient!

I just got my surgery and my BMI was about 30 but I just wasnt changing shape from the from the front and it was negging me out. I have to say that I am more than thrilled with my results so far and I am only 3 weeks out. It has spurred me on to lose more weight and I cant wait to get back on my power plate!! Oh yes and it boosted me down to a BMI of about 27/28, so the end goal is even more in sight now!

Nina - would you feel comfortable sharing pictures? My BMI is just over 31, but my belly is just depressing me!

So to answer your question my BMI is currently 27 and my belly is horrendous. If you were to see my pictures there was no way in the last 10ish pounds that all of that was coming off!! (They are posted on the monthly boards: August 07 Plastic Surgery if you are really interested in seeing what major belly flab looks like!) It is also starting to hurt my back. If I don't wear a girdle like undergarment my back is killing me by the end of the day.
