Asked By:Cara1180 in Elk Grove, California

I lost 50 pounds. I still have 45 more to lose so thought my huge belly was still mainly fat with some hanging skin in the “apron” area. I was planning on a tummy tuck after reaching goal weight, but my stomach looks the same size after losing 50 pounds and I only lost one clothing size. Seeing how my belly hangs when bend over I see that it is probably mostly skin and with another 45 pounds down my belly will look just as big from it being mostly skin, extreme amounts of it. Should I still wait
