This might be a silly question, but if you have stretch marks on your belly, do they go away after the surgery?

Mine actually get worse the more weight I lose.  They were there after I had my kids and gained weight, but now that there isn't as much to "fill" them in, they are more pronounced.

 Belly Laugh      ROTFL   OMGSH - that's about the best laugh I've had all week!!! I'm not laughing at you, just the idea of strech marks going away. I've given birth to SIX full term babies!!!! Talk about your stretchmarks!!!!!!  They didn't go away and as I lost weight they actually were more predominant.  BUT................. The good news is after TT - they are mostly GONE!!!! HUGS

  I wish mine were all gone.    They actually got worse.    I really don't have enough panni to have a tummy tuck, so I can't even get rid of them that way - not to mention the ones on my hips and thighs.    Then again, it's not like I'm going to be parading around town in a bikini or super short shorts, LOL.
