My husband and I were talking about the surgery and he said "soon you will only have to worry about loose skin"

I said, I think I may have a little on my stomach if any (I'm 235 now preop)

Then he says to me "well you have a lot on your back" ...meaning fat!

I thought to myself, ok so he thinks I'm going to have loose skin in my back!!!

Or was this his last dig he will be able to get in, before I lose weight.

Whatever! I was upset for awhile but I just thought... It will be gone soon! (Surgery 1/24)

I'm sorry you had to hear that. People don't realize how sensitive a topic ones body is, and you really find out what people thought or think of your body and how you eat as you lose weight. Even those closest to us can be a bit insensitive when they think they're being helpful. I hope all turns out well during and after your surgery :)

I hate to say it, but he may be feeling a little insecure about how you'll look down the track. Good luck with your surgery.

I was 246 pre op I dont have that problem I am at 186 now. So don't let what he said bother you. Do what you need to do for you. My husband said something about me being fat before I even considered this surgery. It hurt my feelings so I called and went to dr and had the surgery

I HATE BACK FAT!!! I am still on the long road to approval...but if and when I have this surgery, saying goodbye to back fat will not come soon enough! I also hate the side boob....I hope that will go away with little to no extra skin, but my skin is on the thin side there. I just hope it can bounce back! Will have to look into a good firming skin lotion!

My room mate calls me a fat ass to this day and I'm almost 50 pounds down. I know he's insecure about how amazing and confident I look and feel but it still bothers me.

O I hate my back fat! That is one of the main things i pray goes quick. Now I have been having dreams about the loose skin...I hope that does not become a big issue for me. I am gonna work out as soon as I can. Does anyone know if some sort of compression garmet would help in our shrinkage?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
