Not losing much weight in the mid section... is my belly late to the losing party or what?

I bet you if you take your measurements again and compare to your pre-surgery measurements, you'll be quite surprised!  I'm pear-shaped like you and I can definitely see loss from the waist up (face, arms etc), but I still have giant thighs and plenty of junk in the trunk.  I think it's because I had SO MUCH packed in there that it's going to take quite a while for me to visually realize that those bits are indeed smaller.  

The things I notice are how I fit into the world around me.  I drive an Outback and while I never had a problem with the seatbelt fitting, both the driver's and passenger seats were a tight fit--now not so much.  Theater seats, restaurant booths, chairs with arms (my former enemy!), you name it.  I imagine you are having a lot of the same experiences, no matter what the mirror says.  :D

Thanks for asking this question. I too have notice my stomach has not gone down as much as I want it too.  I am about 2 1/2 months out.  But I have noticed my face and upper chest area has lost weight.

I've usually lost there first but not now, I just chalked it up to having another kid via c section and being over 40 now bit maybe it is something to do with the hormone change and this surgery?
