Fatty deposit lumps under skin

Hello. For years I have noticed several lumps on my arms. When I asked my doctor she states they are harmless and just hard fatty deposits. Recently these lumps appear larger and I'm now founding them all over my body. Has anyone else experienced this? Do they shrink when you lose weight? My surgery is July 24 and they are noticeably easy to see now with all my fat. I'm worried when I start losing I'm going to look like I have internal mumps or something!

I have them in my legs and they go away/get smaller when I lose weight. I noticed they were gone when I lost about 40 pounds a few years back. Of course they are back now.

They are called lypomas...fatty deposits. I've had them all over for years - thin or heavier. I actually had some of them surgically removed because they got so tender. Am Considering having some removed again. Going to wait and see which ones look the biggest and hurt the most lol. I was told they can be somewhat hereditary - my mother has them as well. Harmless, but annoying!

I had one size of a football on my spine...had never noticed it till a surgeon showed my hubs...needles to say it got removed...I also ended up with one big one on side of right breast we thought for sure it was cancer but it wasn't but it also got removed it ended up being Calcium deposit,

How do they remove them? Can it be done in a doctor office or is it a surgery?

Thanks

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
