Hi Sharon! You know, we have similar problems with the tummy area. I never hated any part of my body until I LOST the 100 lbs...because now I have this ugly bag of skin that hangs off my stomach where my big belly used to be. When I was heavier, the belly stuck out and the skin looked good. Now its all wrinkly and saggy where the belly used to be. The skin didnt snap back as I assumed it would. And like you, I have had a lot of stomach surgeries, so my dr won't let me do any abdominal exercises like ab crunches. Friends tell me surgery to fix the saggy skin is the only thing that will work.
For the record, I've had 3 Csections, 7 pregnancies and one hysterectomy. Thats a LOT of tummy skin stretching! I dont think my weight gain did as much damage as the pregnancies...I gained weight VERY slowly (took me 21 yrs to become as big as I was)...and when skin is stretched slowly I dont think it causes the damage a pregnancy does, because in pregnancy it stretches in 9 months rather than 21 years.
