Belly! Belly! Go away!



Recommended Posts

I have been banded for a year now and have lost my boobies, my booty, by legs and thighs and I still have this big belly! Anyone suffering from this and for those who are not (HOW IN THE HECK DID YOU LOOSE YOUR BELLY FAT):frown:

I have the same problem and as I understand it, no amount of exercise will tone loose skin, and plastic surgery (aka tummy tuck) is the only thing that will get rid of it. I have loose skin elsewhere, too, but if I can afford it one of these days I would like to have a Tummy Tuck. My butt and boobs deflated, too. I would like (if I had the money) to take the roll from my tummy and fill out my boobs and/or my butt. My tailbone gets sore because I don't have enought padding. I see some marvelous before and after pictures in plastic surgery ads or tv programs. All you need is a big pot of money.

Me too - my legs are thinner - my arms a little - down two sizes in jeans but my stomach still sticks out like I am 6 months pregnant - I guess it will be the last thing to go - very disappointing because my legs were fine just my stomach was so big - I feel like I am doing something wrong - only down 20 in 11 months - I don't think I am eating too much at all so I guess just slow metabolism.

My boobs, believe it or not, have gone down a band size but up a cup size. I have gone from a Lane Bryant 6 right fit blue jeans to a 1 right fit blue jeans. All this and I STILL HAVE A BIG OLE ROLL of fat on my stomach. I am teaching summer school to save money for a TT next summer!!!!!

Mine is not loose skin on my stomach - I don't have any loose skin - it is fat underneath the muscle that makes my stomach stick out - I am wondering if it is ever going to go away and how I let it get this way in the first place - very depressing.

My belly was the last place the weight came off of. I was losing and losing and still had a large stomach and FINALLY now that im in the home stretch i can see a BIG difference in my stomach area. I actually wore a shirt tucked in over the weekend for the first time in i bet close to 13 years.

If its fat that you need to lose and not loose skin then:

Cardio

Cardio

and more cardio

Something really HARD - like interval training, interpsersed with longer sessions of steady state stuff. Depending on your fitness it may be fast walking, but if that's relatively OK for you then you need to push past that and run or do something equally intense.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
