What's up with WLS people & collar bones?



Recommended Posts

I never lost my collarbones, but the first place I've lost weight has been in that region, shoulders, upper chest, a chin or two disappeared. In a head shot, I'd look terrific but in reality it only emphasises even more how far south my boobs are.

I'd never convince my DH that I needed an eye lift or Lipo but thank good men are boob obsessed and even if I'm not saving for the boob job, he sure is.

I noticed the same phenomenon and love my collarbone. My husband was rubbing my shoulders awhile ago and felt my shoulder blades. He didn't know that is what they were and just thought I was really tense and had built up a mass of tense muscles. I nearly fell down laughing at his shock to find they were actual and true bones! Teresa

I shocked myself recently while rubbing up against a door jamb to scratch an itch. (What, doesn't everyone do that? :( )

These two big hard things were getting stuck on the jamb every time I moved back and forth. I was laughing when I realized they were my own shoulder blades! Not bones I'm very familiar with, sad to say.

DH used to lay in my "nook" and say how soft it was. Now he's finding a hard time getting to a soft spot because 1) my boobs have gone down a lot, and 2) my collar bone is sticking out.

I'm wearing a Mardi Gras mask conversing with someone wearing a snorkle.
Hey, that's nothing! You should have seen me about 30 mins before that picture was taken, cruising around 120 ft. underwater, sucking down Nitrox. THAT would be a good avatar! But not nearly as good as the wetsuit/mardi gras combo!

Just today my DH was laying down with me and he said "Holy crap! You have ribs under there!" Who knew?, lol.

I love collar bones - I think they're sexy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
