I have a smaller top but unusually larger legs and lower half. Has anyone had surgery with this body type? Please give stats and if possible bf after photos

You will likely lose a lot of weight with WLS. I don't even think it's possible to compare someone else's loss pics with might happen with your body. Women just have different shapes and sizes and lose weight differently. After weight loss, if you still perceive an imbalance of proportion, I suggest wearing clothes that hug you right under the bust and loser from that point on down. You will look fabulous!

I had a BMI of 30 when I went in. The intake person said to me....why are you having this surgery? I told her I was having it to save my life....I had HBP, high cholestoral, bad hip, bad knees, bad feet and was a thin person trapped in a fat body. That was 3 years ago (this month). I was 58 years old. Want to see Before and After? Look here...and don't look back! Look at the photos of my last blog entry (I kept a blog for the first year). And I have 12 months of before and after photos....my life has never been more full or more happy. Do it! http://www.queenofcrop.com/archives/2012/12/

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
