For those with a big pannus (fat apron)

How long after surgery did you notice that it didn't hang so low? I'm very eager to get rid of mine (please no patience lectures. I know it will take time!) so I just want to get an average of when people started noticing a difference. Mine rests on my upper thighs when I sit down and I get bad rashes, not to mention it makes doing certain exercises near impossible. Really, really hard to do jumping jacks when you're getting beat up by your own fat!

But seriously, how long before you noticed? I'm almost 3 months out and it seems exactly the same to me. I do worry that the fat will never melt off that part of my stomach. I remember a few years ago I got down to 175 with the help of a little red pill (I miss you, ephedrine! lol), but it still seemed the same size to me despite tons and tons and tons of cardio, weights and ab workouts. Not sure if it was my body dysmorphia or if it really did stay the same size.

I am 7 months out and I just have noticed in the last month or so it is mostly gone. I am sure it is dependent on how much everyone has to lose and how and where they hold their weight. When I was younger I always had my weight mostly in my lower body but as I got older it was in my mid area also. So 7 months for me. I lift weights 4 days a week and working my core is one of the most important area for me.
