So I am scheduled for sept 4th and just had my last pre op appt. while waiting I met a woman who was 6 mos out and 70 pounds lost. While that is great, she lost most of the weight at the top of her body- leaving her butt, thighes and calves still big. I mean no disrespect but it looked awful!!! I am also big at the bottom and having second thoughts!!! Has this happened yo anyone?

Everybody carries their weight differently. To the naked eye, we might look the same but that's visual manipulation. We are all uniquely build.

She might have lost mostly on her upper body and bottom has to catch up but don't think you will lose the same.

I do understand your fear, though. It's natural. Have faith in your body's ability to shed the extra pounds. Important is, that you are losing.

I still have my thighs and hips which I absolutely love because I'm curvey almost and I do mean almost like a coke bottle shape lol I was amazed how I still had thighs bc I thought after a 90 pound lost I wouldnt still have them (started at 294) but yea everyone carry their weight differently

I am heavier on the bottom as well, but with exercise you can even things out a bit as well. She probably did not exercise!!!!

In contrast, I am apparently going to have no butt at all when I lose a bit more. Sigh

I have a butt. Always did. I'm finding it isn't going anywhere. Lol but in fine with it as long as the scale goes down. I'm not hippy and my thighs aren't big. But I could see how that could scare you. Everyone is different.

Don't let her journey take you off course

In about 8 months you are going to wish there was a little more padding back there - trust me.

That darn tailbone hurts!

They are right, everyone is different and everyone has their own issues with their body. My butt is big now but ends up flat when I'm smaller. Think of it this way though, booty is in! People are getting implants to have big butts so you would be ahead of the game and smoking hot lol!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
