UGH - Will my tummy ever go away?
I have lost a total of 97 pounds (including my pre-op diet) and am down to 179. I am wearing size 12 pants and large shirts. However, I still feel like my stomach is the biggest part of me. I have to buy certain styles of clothing to "hide" the "rolls" that are still there. I know some of it is extra skin at this point, but it litterally still sticks out further than my breasts and they are pretty large too!!
Am I destined to never be able to wear "cute" clothes that don't hide the tummy or does the abdomin area just shrink the slowest?

That's my problem area, too. Were it not for my belly, I'd be wearing the next smallest size already. I've been losing from the top down.
I've been contemplating buying support of some kind. Does anyone have a type they feel is comfortable and works well? I've tried traditional girdles in the past and they hurt! One lady told me she liked the "onesie" tummy-trimmer-and-bra combinations.
Recommendations?

If that's your body shape, it's probably going to stay that way unless you have plastic surgery. My waist was always at least 10 inches smaller than my breasts and hips, even at my highest weight.
