I have to admit I am in the EXACT same spot. I stopped losing weight at about 9 months out and have been between 197 and 203 for months. I'm still in a size 18 but I think alot of it is extra skin because I'm in a size 10 or 12 top. Who knows what that is all about. However I was able to put on a pair of low rise pants the other day and not look completely foolish. Faith L 350/197/175

I guess I am at the weight I am going to be forever. I have been 197 pounds for months now. I feel great and wear regular size clothes so I can't really complain but it is weird to eat so little and stay the same weight. I plan to join the wellness center and get more exercise but I was exercising before and did not lose. Oh well, 197 is much better then 305. Donna

Our surgeon told us the instant you get a rash, call him or take pictures, and get ahold of the plastic surgeon. It seems you need to have rashes under the panniculus (the fancy medical term for all that skin) to get insurance to take care of it for you. Otherwise, I found athlete's foot powder works really well on the rashes. It's designed to take care of yeast-like rashes and they're mostly caused by moisture and friction. Using the blow dryer is a great idea also, and I have done that myself on more than one occasion Linda 280/143/160

Thank u. I don't mind waiting 3 months at least its going to get done. lol

Your figure looks awesome! I showed them to my husband so that when I am ready (if ever) to do something about my excess parts, he will remember how good surgery looks on you. Congratulations - I am happy for you! Becky
