Silly Question about the Tummy :)

Hello Ladies!

I am currently 8 week along and over 7 years post op, and I have a question for the ladies who have already had children after weight loss.  

I of course have some extra skin.  I have a funny little pooch of skin above my belly button that kind of hangs over, and I am worried that I won't have that smooth cute round pregnant belly and that I will have this weird fat bump! lol  

What were your experiences like as you grew if you had skin issues that you did not have fixed before kids? I am hoping it will "push out" or smooth out but not sure!  Just curious :)  Any stories are welcome!

I was 18 months post op when I got pregnant and I had alot of excess skin, mostly under my belly button, but kind of had what you're describing too..just a small pooch above..and it rounded out and smoothed out and I had quite the nice little pregnant belly..

I have some skin above and below my belly button. The stuff above has smoothed out nicely and I have a great basketball belly. The stuff below dangles a bit, but I just tuck that in to my pants, lol. In the beginning a shaping tank or belly band helped keep everything looking nice and smooth.

Thank you!!
