Glad to hear you are feeling better and are seeing the positives of surgery.  I remember reading on here before surgery from the folks that lost everywhere but the belly until the very end so I planned for that too.  I have no clue what I've done but I've lost in every part of my body so far. More in the face, legs arms and boobs, but I have lost in my tummy as well.  It's been way too hot for me to walk as much as I want so I've actually been swimming.  Keep up the good work!

For me, it's my hips. I think it depends on our shape ultimately - but everyone does tend to lose at their extremities first. 

Sadly there is no way to spot reduce when it comes to fat - your belly will shrink once you lose enough weight. Which sucks, eh?

I'm with Gwen.  With me it was from the top down.  Boobs first (except last time when I wanted it to be the boobs) and my ass was the last to go.  And it really did go.  To this day I don't know where it is.
