Belly Pics Post WLS?
So, I lost 175 pounds following my VSG in 8/2007. I am currently 125-127 pounds. I have a pannus/apron that hangs a bit and stretchmarks from my boobs down to my girlie parts. Anyway, I really do not care about cosmetics or anything, but I was curious if some of you lovely ladies might be willing to share your pregnant belly pics. I am just kind of wondering what mine might look like one day. I am thinking the baby will fill up all that loose skin at some point and I'll have a zebra belly from my existing stretch marks. Thanks :) Good luck to everyone here is trying/expecting.
For me, I had the cute baby bump on the top, but the pannus hung off the bottom. NOT attractive with clothes off, but with clothes on, you really couldn't tell. I couldn't wear the bump hugging clothes but still looked pregnant further along. I also found the full panel maternity pants worked better for keeping the pannus in check and helping to hide it. Hope that helps!
Thanks girls for the responses! I am very curious how I am going to turn out. LOL. I just imagined it would all fill up. It didn't really occur to me that I would get round and hard on top and still have some hanging down. Like I said, I don't really care what it looks like on me...I'm just curious!!!
Yup, still have some of the flabbiness on the bottom, but as baby has dropped last week, it's become a little more rounded, but still not the cute hard bump. I was 5 lbs from goal when I got pregnant, and didn't have a huge amount of left over skin, btw.
I do have pictures under the Pregnancy photo folder on my profile.

Yep, like everyone else, I've filled out some, but more at the top than the bottom (which disappointed me a bit). I do find that full panel style pants do a much better job of smoothing out the loose skin.

Someone also mentioned to me to take your belly pics while laying down on a bed. It really works. That loose skin at the bottom is much less visible that way for pics and you can see the baby belly growing. Sorry I don't have time to post my pics. I have a huge pani/stretch marks...but I am still overweight as well. Shari
