Stomach reduction surgery
cannot be considered
as an an easy way
out for generally obese people, but it
is suitable for men and women
who have lost significant amounts of weight, and for
women following child birth, especially if their pregnancies
were
large or they carried twins or triplets. It
is recommended,
however, and often ruled by a
surgeon, that women finish
having their families before opting
for stomach reduction
surgery.
When a woman’s stomach has been stretched to capacity
during pregnancy, and has not
retracted back after the baby’s
birth, she can be left with
an unsightly overhang of excess skin,
which is impossible to shift. Although
stomach muscles can
be tightened by exercise, there are no
exercises that have any
effect on slack skin.
Very often a woman who has exercised
herself back into shape
can feel her taut stomach
muscles underneath the overhang of
sagging skin, which is
all the more demoralising.
These results are the same
for those who have successfully
shed their excess pounds, only to
find their new stomachs
hidden beneath a flap of skin and a
stubborn fat pouch, which
once again cannot be totally
exercised away.
Some of those affected find that they still
have to wear
trousers and skirts one to two sizes bigger than
they should
actually need because their skin overhang gets in the way and
pads out their shape.
