WLS and C-section
Ladies I have a question. Has anyone had the WLS that has had a prior C-section? Because of my c-section and weight gain my stomach is already out of shape. My question to those who have had a c-section is...because the elasticity is already gone how hard was it to not have my belly hang anymore than it already does and what advice can you give on working on it?
i agree with the other poster. I have had a csection and gallbladder surgery also my stomach was waaayyyy out of shape, i had a tummy tuck 2 weeks ago, hoping this will help with my issues. But i am 47, i think if your younger your skin shrinks down better. I have a yoyo dieter since i was 16, had RNY 2 years ago, i have sagging... but it still continued to shrink down over time. I was a size 6 forever, now i am a size 4 and have only lost just a few more pounds, so skin must be shrinking down still
My daughter had TWO "C" sections prior to her OPEN Duodenal Switch wls (DS) and also had TWO more "c" sections with her last two (total "4" lovely sons) AFTER her DS. Her belly is probably no worse than some others who have LOST CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS of weight. I had the same DS she did (10 months after her) and we both seem to have the same kind of 'hang'. Hope this helps!

I'm 29 and had a c-section with twins 4 yrs ago and am half way through my weight loss and am surprised at how much the skin is bouncing back so far. My stomach definatley still hangs over the scar but I think considering how fast I lost that weight that maybe it won't be too bad. I know I'm going to have at least a little pouch but my stomach feels pretty tight (still huge, lol) with no "extra skin" really.
