Ugly stomach?????

Okay, so lately I've been having some real issues with my stomach and hips ... ITS UGLY AND FAT!!!! I can't wait for plastic surgery! I'll buy pants that fit everywhere else, but then I have some fat rolls/folds hanging over in my waist and hips! It makes me have a "fat day"! The one thing I also really regret is having open RNY with my scar since the pics I saw with people who had lap, you can't even see their scars! I'm hoping PS will take care of that, but in the meantime, I'm sensitive about it. How do you feel about your stomach right now?? M.

It's not toooo bad. The only time it really bothers me is when I'm "on top". I can always bring sex into every post! Most of my saggy skin has sinched up. Strangely, the only place that I have wrinkly gross skin is in my arm-pits! How strange is that? I'll take it though! We all have "fat days". Sometimes I look at my pants and think, "How the hell do I get into these?.......I look so fat in the mirror, how do they fit me!!" Are you already saving for plastics? You're adorable sweetie! And I bet that man of yours is loving the way you look!!! Scar and all! Loves, C

That's cuz your a sex maniac ... I'm jealous!!!! My stomach is very "rolly" if that's the right word to use. My arms is okay, its a little flabby and "creasy" by the armpits when I hold it up, but down it looks okay ... or so I think. I'm hoping my insurance will pay for the TT, already started paperwork with my PCP for rash under my lower belly fold. As for the boobs, I'll have to pay for myself, and will probably get PS loan. If insurance doesn't pay for anything ... I'm gonna get a loan for it all! My consult is in June and I'm hoping to be at goal by October so I can have PS right before Thanksgiving. Love ya Channon girl ... your such a great friend ... and HOT too!!

I think I'd be a size or two lower without my tummy and arms. I actually have flaps on my back by my armpits. No sleeveless for me EVER. Or at least until plastic surgery if I decide to do it. On my 'fat' days, I wait for my boob to reach down and touch my belly button! M, scars fade with time. I have a scar on my right arm from my wrist to elbow and on my chest from my cardiac bypass surgery. I did not where short sleeves or anything but crew or turtle necks for a year. Now, no-one even notices either and it was only 5 years ago. Just keep vitamin E-ing and cocoa buttering and they will go away. Also, keep the scar out of the sunlight for a year to protect the new skin. Hugs, Andrea

Thanks Andrea!! My boobs are reaching belly button status too!! It's worse now that ever before ... The arms are okay, a little flabby and "creasy" but I'm working on that! My scar turned out pretty ugly with it pulling open and its really thick. If it was a little thinner I probably wouldn't have minded as much ... just cant wait until November for PS.

Hi Marlize, Oh YES, I have a HORRIBLE stomach. I *hate* seeing it and looking at it. Clothes do a decent job of covering it up, but EEEWWW! It's bad. I can't even see my hips because my stomach covers them up with a flap. Ugh! I can't wait for PS either. I have a million scars on my stomach. from an emergency C-section (cut all the way up!) to my Lap RNY and Lap Gall Bladder My tummy is riddled with them. I assume PS will fix it all up with one slender scar really low, so I'm trying to be patient. But I truly feel for ya! I'm in the same boat hun! Take care, Lisa

Hi Lisa, Girl, your looking so good ... your pictures show an amazing transformation!! I'm glad, well not glad but accept, that I'm not the only one not liking how my stomach looks right now. I also have a c-section scar, but you can barely see that one cuz its really thin ... but the RNY scar is really thick so even if it heals, I know you will be able to see it!! Countdown to PS day ... cant be here soon enough!! Good luck girl!!
