I had a  beautiful son 6 months ago.  and up until now have been way to busy to focus on how to get rid of the excess skin.. I lost all the weight while bartending/waitressing for 36 hours a week. but now i have lose skin on my stomach, my boobs, legs and arms are all back to normal its just my stomach.  I have a huge birthday party coming up in 3 weeks, i know its soon and last minute but id like to look good in the outfit me and my boyfriend have picked out.  Its my big 21st! and its gonna be a t a fancy restaurant and then to the local hometown bar, where ill see all my old friends I havnt seen in over a month since the doors closed at my job.  and I want to surprise everyone.  I dont expect it to be perfect, but id like to start working on it asap.. so anyone know hwo to get rid of the excess baby skin?  

thank you!

I know im asking too much for it to be gone in 3 weeks and seems impossible since i am in no way getting surgery I dont believe in that, if its not something *I* myself cant fix then I will deal with it.  Ill keep up with the at home sit ups that i can do while caring for my needy mommas boy lol..  thanks for all your help :)

Hi. To understand how pregnancy affects your skin, think of a rubber band: the more a rubber is stretched out, the more difficult for it to return o its pre-stretched state. While performing low-impact, strength-building exercises help burn calories and shed excess skin, continued breastfeeding may also help the abdomen (uterus) shrink back to its normal size. However, it may take more than 3 weeks to see satisfactory results. While doing your program, you may use body shapers or dresses that accentuate your best features. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is the last resort for removal of excess skin. In this case, consult a surgeon for further assessment and guidance. Thanks for asking.

i hate to say it, but i dont think there really is anything you can do to get rid of excess skin besides a tummy tuck. its not like its fat and you can just exercise and it'll go away. i just had a baby 5 months ago and i'm working on losing weight, but i was overweight before i got pregnant and i already told my husband all our tax money is getting saved, once i reach my goal weight if i have lose skin on my belly, which i'm sure i will after 2 kids i'm using that money for a tummy tuck. but you could always go the body shaper route as well.

If you're back to your original wt. and it's stretched skin then its a tummy tuck you need
What you can do is buy a womans Body shaper
