I am still losing slowly but all my extra skin is dropping and pooling around my middle.
Now i am so grateful for my loss i was just wondering if anybody else's body is doing this.
I dont look bad standing up but when i set down holy smokes i could do a commercial with the spare tire i have.
Im losing in my legs and im happy for that except when i walk i hear it flapping...
I know it takes time but other than exercise what can i do to help it not flap.

I am afraid I am melting to my middle as well.  My belly is atrocious and looks terrible in pants.  I am hoping that soon shapewear will help - but right now, it just looks bad bad bad.

before i had several yards of skin removed, when i lay down on my back, my mid section and thigh regions pooled around me on both sides -- making it look like i was laying in a pool of skin. it was really bizarre!

Yep, I'm there.  Bali/Just My Size shaper underwear helps and any of those camisole shaper tops for the mid section.

I know what you mean!  I am really deflating now and things are just jiggling all over.  This is super embarassing but the "flaps" under my arms, you know the "sideboobs" make FARTING NOISES when I  roll over in bed!  A bra cures this (thank god) but it happenes at night when I am hangin' loose.  I think I will need skin removal.  I was kind of scared to do it and thought I'd just get a good girdle but now that I see what's happening I think I've changed my mind.

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!
