Haha, you got me! I was like, "Did they leave an instrument behind or something?"

Wow, I think we discovered these alien bones at the same time... I forgot I had ribs!! =]

Good one, you had me. Don't forget those other strange hard surfaces along the cheek. I THINK THEY ARE CALLED CHEEK BONES. I forgot I had them. I like them. :D

LMAO I was like is she talking about scar tissue under her incisions? Yes, I have rediscovered my collar bones and I LIKEY!

HAHAHAHHAHAHH!!!!! :rofl4: i was so worried that there was something bad going on .. and then i rread it again!! feeling those bones coming back is AWESOME!!!! :Dancing_wub:

LOL I just found collar bones too !! i also discovered that you can get hands around my neck, some one could choke me...OK not what I want:angry: but at least I have a neck to go with the collar bones.

I caught on right away bc me too...i havenew little bones in my FEET too. Starting to feel bones in my legs occasionally, like in my calves. I"m sure thin people would laugh at that. I don't remember ever having them before.

Ok, does anyone else have really sore bones? I had at first: they were used to being inside lots of padding and were quite shocked at being so close to the surface. I used to wake up at night when I slept on my side and my knees knocked together. They got used to it, but it took a few months. Too funny.

LOL too funny!! But I know exactly what you mean - I can't stop feeling my ribs when I lay in bed - they are awesome haha

I totally thought the same thing!!!

Thanks for the laugh! :lol:

I know, it's weird--I thought it was some sort of deformity at first, was all set to call my surgeon and ask him what-the-heck-kind-of-alien-device-he'd-inserted-as-an-experiment... laugh.gif Heehee.

Seriously though...I've been wearing size 10 for the last month-and-some, and I'll be into size 8 jeans by mid-December. I actually LOST weight over Thanksgiving!!!

It's been almost 5 months post-op. And I'm starting to think I might have to revise my target weight upward. If I hit 130, I'm honest-to-god going to look like a coat-hanger. I'm thinking that 140 is a good goal for someone of my height and build.
