Unfortunately, you're not the only one. Count me in! I probably need a tummy tuck, but I'm a chicken. I've watched too many of those shows where the person's anesthesia wears off during surgery. Yikes! I have a formal event I have to attend in less than four weeks and I've got to find something to minimize my bulging belly. Duct tape, maybe?DVCkidsMOM said:I've got some flab, so you're correct that I could reduce some. Mostly skin and c-section issues. I've been completely numb from navel to pubic bone for almost 8 years now. (So maybe I could do the tummy tuck after weight loss without anesthesia and it's complications - hah!) So I still need to know how to look decent in clothing with the fold thing. Maybe if I reduce overall, control panties would help but they don't work now unless they are full torso and I move to a much cooler climate. Honestly, I can't be the only one needing a containment device on my chest and abdomen. Afraid of the answer...
