If your skin on your abdomen doesn't tighten up with exercise would you consider plastic surgery?
I'd consider it. I don't expect it to be too much of a problem though -- it's not the skin but the actual muscle that's floppy. It should tighten up fine once it's gotten over the trauma.
And a lot of it is plain ol' weight gain from sitting on my butt and eating like a horse. I have a very slow metabolism.
About the incision, the one I had from the laperotomy was only a few inches wide, but it took me ages to be able to roll on my side unaided :-/
I had to prop myself up with pillows to sleep on my side.
Oh, and vitamin e cream is your friend for the scar :-)

Thanks, I'll try that.
