I know that after losing weight i will have some loose skin and i am ok with that. I know it can take up to a year for skin to snap back and exercising, building muscle, using creams etc will all help.
But the problem is that i have gained a fair bit of abdominal fat due to my medication making my body unable to process sugar (i was told this after being on the meds for 6 months & after the unexplained weight gain ) and i have never had fat in that area before so i can't imagine what my stomach will look like after weight loss and that scares me.
I've always had this little pouch thing at the bottom of my stomach even before i gained weight but it seems to have got bigger and started to hang, just in the middle (but flat at the sides of lower stomach). This is what worries me the most . I think i will be able to cope with the middle belly fat (above belly button) because i intend on working towards building muscle and getting a 6 pack but i worry i will get loose, dimply, hanging skin in my lower abdomen pouchey area after i lose weight.
So I have been looking at mini tummy tucks which are used to get rid of loose skin in the lower abdomen area (between belly button and pubic bone) which is my problem area.
Has anyone ever had a mini tummy tuck or a tummy tuck? What are your opinions on it? and it is really worth getting it done?
I don't think i'll ever get one done because surgery scares me and i dont think theres any point if i plan to have children (and i dont think i can afford a tummy tuck) but i just say to myself that it is there as a solution whenever i feel down about my sagging tummy pouch and that keeps me motivated to stay on the diet.
I would appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this problem , especially if you share my problem of the lower belly pouch thingy .
Thank you

p.s - I have about 3.5 stones to lose to get to a healhty BMI of 25 and then i want to lose an extra 1-1.5 stones to be in the healthy BMI range, so not much loose skin i hope.
