I am 4 months post tummy tuck and side lipo. My weight hasnt changed much.134 amd 5'8. ..up or down a few pounds. 3 children (twins too.) When I stand...looks great...but when I sit, I still have fat rolls and side fat. I do the ellip. for 30-40 mins. a day and sit-ups. Dr. thinks I look great and cares about the look while standing. I would like opinions and what do you think my expectations are unrealistic?
