Question:
Has anyone lost 100 pounds and not had to have a tummy tuck?
Skin is genetic to a degree, but I wanted to know the best I can hope for. Wouldn't it be nice to have it come back enough to not have to have a tummy tuck? — Sandra S. (posted on April 7, 2003)

Hi! I unfortunately carried my weight mainly in the stomach area, plus
having two c-sections I will need a tummy tuck. I am in physical therapy
for my back pain and will be seeing a dermatologist for my rashes in the
apron fold. I do have friends that had the surgery, did not carry their
weight mainly in the tummy and will NOT need a TT. Good Luck to
you!!~StephiAZ 7 1/2months -107pds and 61.75 inches~

I've lost a little over 100 lbs. I was almost 50 when I had my surgery.
Thankfully, I have not needed a tummy tuck. I still have a bit of a tummy
but not enough to need surgery. Good luck to you.

I have lost 100+ pounds- and though I am a bit saggy- I dont need a tummy
tuck really- My tomach does not even sag to my pubis mons-
I can clearly see all my body parts when standing-
Now if only I could reverse gravity on my boobs :P

Originally, I lost 150lbs. and had a relatively flat and stretch mark free
stomach. Even with my weight regain (I've lost 11 lbs!!!!), I gained in
the
butt...not the stomach or boobs. Weird, because before my wls, I carried
most of
my weight in the stomach/boobs.

Hi Sandra! You may have forgotten, but you've asked this same question
twice on the same day. If you would go under Q&A, Last 300
questions...#24 & #29 are the same. Perhaps when you were trying to
send it, it wouldn't go through.

Sandra, please feel free to post 100 times if you so wish. Yes, it would
help if we ALL used the library...but you won't be banned if you don't. I'm
as guilty as the previous poster in not researching enough before posting a
question.
I hope that if anyone ever wants to give me a few constructive pointers
regarding questions and/or general posting in this area that they do it
privately. Many of us probably feel like idiots already without having
someone else point out our shortcomings to everyone else.
