Strange Hard Things Under My Skin....?



Recommended Posts

I've been very concerned about these strange, hard lumpy things under my skin. Some are bumpy and growth-like. Some are long and more smooth. They've been appearing more and more as the days go by. They seem to have something to do with body structure....Oh wait........what?? My husband informs me that these are called "bones." Is anyone else finding weird stuff like this?

Ha! I still surprise myself sometimes when I go to scratch an itch or something and feel a bone I forgot existed.

I actually do have a couple lipomas (fatty benign growths) under the skin.

I have one on the side of my arm that you can't really see but now that the fat is coming off that's becoming visible.

I had a benign thyroid nodule that I found years ago after losing weight because it was more visible on my neck.

I think the only benefit to being fat is less damage if you fall down the steps- with all the padding. Had it happen- no problem. :)

Ooh, actually that's a funny story. I was going up the steps and said "Stupid, (actually didn't say that) why don't you put your coffee cup right here in the middle of the steps so on your way down you won't forget it?"

What do you know, I'm coming down the steps, forget about the cup and get my toes stuck in the cup and go sailing down. coffee is all over the walls, steps, me, and I'm pulling my foot out of a cup. :D It really was funny,

..especially since I didn't break any bones because of my fat. :P

It's so weird to be able to feel bones you were once never able too! I love that my collar bones are starting to show.

      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!!
