I've lost 38 lbs which is wonderful and even better than I hoped I would do with the surgery. This puts me a little over halfway toward my goal.

I've had 5 previous lower abdomen surgeries so my flabby stomach hasn't changed a whole lot, but I expected that. I've lost 5 inches at my waist but only 1 inch at the yucky "pooch". But I've gone from a sz 18 being tight to a sz 14 being comfortable. My goal is to lose about another 25 lbs.

I've always lost a lot ...
