Lisa,
Please do not do liposuction. All surgeries have risks. Instead, try targeted abdominal exercises. Get a workout DVD at home that targets the abs such as Tight on Time. It only takes 10 minutes. I have 3 children and have belly fat that I am working on. You will see results. Also, are you modifying your diet? Try cutting back on processed foods (anything from a can or bottle), especially white flour and sugar and you should see a difference very soon. These are less painful and much less risky options than liposuction.
Lisa,
I have the same woes, i had a hysterectomy when i was 26, now 41. i have never lost the belly. doctors have told me repeatedly that it comes with the surgery and never leaves. i have a paunch no matter what excercise i tried. no dice. the muscles have been cut and do not repair once cut. i actually have been cut open twice so even more so for me. so to give you bad news, but for me its true. good luck!
Lisa,
I completely understand your frustration about the weight gain after the hysterectomy. I had 3 1/2 years ago. Before the hysterectomy I stayed around 118-120 lbs and I am 5'6". I am now staying between 133-137 lbs. All of the weight is in my tummy and thighs. My thighs never rubbed until I put on this weight so I really know your frustration! Anyway, I was reading the many responses about changing your diet and exercise habits and I am really wondering how many of these women had a hysterectomy and the suggestions still worked. I don't have any answers for you but I am glad you asked the question so I can get the advise too. I will add you to my prayer list and maybe we can both find a solution to the problem!!
A little about me:
I'm a proud "step" mother to two girls 17 & 20 and 21 yr old boy. A grandmother of 1 and 2 more on the way. I have been married to a wonderful man for 14 years!
Hi Lisa, I had a baby a year ago. I now force myself to do at least 50 sit ups a day and I started seeing a difference after a few weeks and lost 5 pounds.
Good luck, Lisa
Hi, I understand what you're going through. I had a hysterectomy in Aug. and have gained 12 lbs that refuse to move. I walk 3 1/2 to 4 miles at least 4 times a week, which worked perfectly before, but now is not. I've since joined Weight Watchers and rejoined Curves. If you find out something that works, please advise.
Hi Lisa,
There are several things you might want to try. One is getting the ph levels of your saliva back to akaline, between 6.3 and 6.6. You do this with calcium carbonate from the sea, coral calcium. You should also take supplements to balance the hormones, Black cohosh, wild yam, and dong quai.
www.creeksideherbhouse.com is my free teaching website. The rprotocol we teach is on the theory page. You might want to take the health test on this site http://dysbiosis101.googlepages.com/candidayeasttest you will get a score and at the bottom of the test it will tell you about your score. Or you can get ahold of me from my website adn we can discuss this further.
You can work with nutrition and not chemicals to correct this condition
Blessings

Lisa,
Sounds like you are having some hormone imbalances. This is really common in women going through menopause and in women with immediate sudden menopause which a hysterectomy causes. As a way to try to replace the estrogen, you body adds fat as it contains trace amounts of estrogen.
That said, you should speak with a women's health specialist about balancing your hormones. There are two great menopause MD's with the Austin Diagnostic clinic,Paula starche MD and I can't remember the other lady's name. You can also see Connie Ryan at Central Family practice near Seton downtown. Those are two ladies I strongly recommend. Good luck.
At 58 yrs,I too, have the belly fat after surgery that I would like to get rid of. I go to the Y and work in the yard a lot and no luck on loosing it.
Let me know if you find a get solution.
