I haven't seen a forum topic dealing with these changes specifically. So I thought I'd start one.

Has anyone noticed their xiphoid process, ribs, collar bones, and/or hip bones sticking out like never before, since losing all the weight?

This next is more for the veterans and medical staff out there: And I realize collar bones and hip bones can't really move. But do our xiphoid processes and ribs go back to a flattened, smooth, new normal? Or do we have to put up with them sticking out from now on?

I've definitely noticed it.

I freaked out not too long back about the Xyphoid Process thinking the worst, but after some online research I realized it was normal and had just been hidden away for all these years.

Thanks winning_by_losing!

I emailed my NUT and she said she'd pass my question on to their NP's for an official medical response. But nothing else yet.

I'm also posting this on the veteran's forum to see if others have had similar issues.

My main concern is that my xiphoid process almost sticks straight out. It never did that when I was thin. I can actualy remember that far back!
