jmarie_isme 2 Posted November 20, 2014 I have lost 110lbs... I am 50 lbs from my goal so I am not ready for a tummy tuck...yet. But my issue has been... nothing I do has reduced the density of my belly fat. I would be happy to see loose skin at this point. To fit a pair of pants properly, I have to buy a size bigger than what works for my legs =(. In itself not a problem, beside looking like a diaper. Lol. So dresses are best right now. Does anyone have suggestions for how to reduce the dreaded belly flap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewLife'sGr8 241 Posted November 21, 2014 Reducing stress (exercise, meditation, breathing exercises) lowers cortisol Easier said than done, right? I need to do more of these, myself I also heard there's a new med that reduces cortisol. cortisol is the biggest factor for piling on / maintaining belly fat. Def. check with your healthcare team for ideas, suggestions, regarding the cause as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momma_D 47 Posted November 21, 2014 My apron..belly flap..is worse after losing 50 lbs in the two months after my surgery... I know I need to find a girdle or something... this sucks..my surgeon said most insurance makes patients wait two years after surgery before they'll pay...

jmarie_isme 2 Posted November 21, 2014 Yes momma_d... my insurance has a 1 year requirement. I've got myself a decent girdle but... that makes it harder to tolerate some foods as my guts are getting squished. =/ It's just time to say good bye to this not so lovely handle.
