Do we have fat on our nose?



Recommended Posts

I’ve lost 50 lbs and lately my eyeglasses keep slipping off my nose. I realize this is kind of a dumb question. But I don’t have the glasses with “nose pieces” that might go awry and not fit right. My glasses are plain with no little pieces. So why are they falling off my face now? I know my feet thinned out etc, I guess our noses can too? Need to go get new eyeglasses. Never knew this was a thing.

The nose is a common site for edema. If you're in better shape, and eating healthier, it will be less likely to be puffy. (even if it wasn't that perceptibly puffy in the past)

This is great news for me because I've noticed my nose getting puffier as I got heavier. I secretly hoped that it would be less puffy as I lose weight. Good info.

So funny! I’m glad I asked. I can’t bend over without them slipping.

i lie the shoe thing too. I don’t have as much problem finding shoes that fit. I know one foot was bigger than the other, but whatever it was, is less so now. Again, probably edema lessened.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
