I carried all my weight in my butt an thighs. Even after 145 pound weight loss my thighs still have to much fat for thigh lift. The Dr. said he would do Lipo and that would take away some of the "bulk". Thigh still look big in pants and when I sit they spread over two states. The problem is that they are already lumpy and he said it could make it worse. I've talked to one person already who said they were so lumpy she had to wear Spanx under her yoga pants. Are there any other experiences out there? Would you do just the lipo, or leave the bulk? Lumpy but able to in to pants, or bulk that still makes my thighs look big with my smaller waist. I'm so conflicted.

Thanks

I'm having a similar problem. I had liposuction on my abdomen and arms (before the sleeve, actually). As I have lost so much weights, the abdominal area looks great. My arms are still slightly lumpy, so I'm hesitant about getting the thighs done. Ultimately, once so hit my weight loss goal, if I'm still unhappy, I plan to have the thighs done and "touch up" the arms and stomach.

I have had a similar experience with where I carry my weight and I'm out over 3.5 years and honestly it is getting worse. I've only gained a couple pounds since hitting goal but they are all turning into lumpy cottage cheese and same "shaping" as before surgery just smaller. I'm very curious to see what you find out and I'll do the same as I start exploring. Good luck and congrats on your success!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
