Yes same. I feel like my back rolls are still the same as if I was at 270 lbs still. Maybe it's just us focusing on them too much. My tummy still kinda hangs which annoys me, as well.

Might be preferable to cushion belly-itis, I have a cousin with Dolly Parton syndrome. She floats upright when she goes swimming. Its natural too, I said to her "Pammy Jo". yeah we do have a Dixie branch, "guys just must love to see you!" She said " I'm thinking of changing my name to Palmy Jo, guy came up to me and palms forward tried to rub my breasts", she said "all I could think to say was EXCUSE ME!" Now I can think of a few more things I SHOULD have said". She is really a very nice person but Mother Nature was cruel to her and she says she has yet to have a guy looK her in the eyes. [emoji20]

Let me share what my gynecologist, the little twit, said to me. He's doing my breast exam, looks up at me and says " for a fat girl you're not overly developed there!" Those C cups nursed 3 babies, thank you very much! I'm naturally a Junior albeit a very very large one. If they ran that large I would be a 27 or 29, so my dream is to get down to a 15 or so. Much less with my bone structure I would look emaciated. As a clue, although my fingers are NORMAL sized, did you know the average American woman's ring size is a 6 and half, that's my left ring finger, the right is somewhere between 6 and 6 and.a quarter, I have longer than average thigh bones and size 11-12M feet. So a 15 would be so cool for me at 72.[emoji13]

Wow that's a really inappropriate comment. I think you need to find a new doctor.

Haven't been back to see him[emoji107] since, figured at 72 and sexually continent at this point, dang it, not enough,is going,on down there to require a Pap test. If I had an unquenchable desire to have one My PCP could do it, and. Medicare wouldn't pay for one after 75 anyway because then they don't think it mandatory. And my PCP is pretty polite, if he isn't I call him "Junior" and he usually backs down. In fact he's one of my biggest cheerleaders when it comes to me having bariatric surgery. Said not only would I feel better about myself physically and emotionally, he' d like to keep me as a patient for many more years. He said that and then I swear, we both blushed, well at my age it could have been simple flushing but I accepted it anyway.[emoji13]

I’m in the same boat. My butt is so flat it sometimes hurts to sit down. If there was only a way to transport the fat around my stomach into the bags that used to be my butt cheeks!🤣😩😩😩🤣

Omg, this happens to me too! Sometimes when I’m driving I can feel the bones shifting around on my flabby ass. It’s really uncomfortable!!!

I’m down 20 lbs. everything fits the same. I haven’t looked in a mirror yet. I don’t know when I will. I have no clue where the weight came off.

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
