In a word - YES.

Actually, let me clarify that. An abdominoplasty IS the only way to get rid of the loose abdominal skin resulting from several pregnancies...ESPECIALLY SEVEN (God, bless her! ), but proper diet and weight resisitance training will get rid of any excess fat. YOU DO NOT NEED SURGERY DO GET RID OF EXCESS FAT.

Mine took a very long time to go away and there is still some that surgery will only get rid of.....but it took yrs for it to look just about normal again.......everyone is different when it comes to how their skin reacts to growth and then shrinking lol mine did it 3 times so I can't complain to much and yes I have some stretch marks...but you can hide them for the most part....give yourself time girl

I agree. Plus, some women have to get their body fat down REALLY low in order to lose that little pooch. It totally sucks, but it's true. Abs are the last place to show for us. I've lost 3 boobage sizes, but I still have fat on my lower abs. I currently sport a 2-pack. Working on it, though.

The points that BikiniMOM has brought up are valid. A lot of it really depends on age, genetics, how much you gained during the pregnancy, and how fast it came off after. Slower fat loss is better in this case. People who lose fat fast are often left with slack skin that will take a while to tighten up.
