Lumpy legs

Okay so I am not sure where this goes but I wanted to ask.... I have always had sort of lumpy/bumpy thighs on the putter part down towards the knees. Like when you apply a little bit of pressure you feel... Pebbly? Lumpy? Just... Not smooth I don't know how to explain it. They are not large like lipomas or anything and not something you can see.. Only feel.

Question is... Does this go away with exercise? Anyone experienced this? I'm assuming they are fat deposits. Thanks

Just a guess...I would say they are fatty tumors.  I believe they will shrink with the weightloss.  When you lose weight you shrink fat cells.  The amount of fat cells remain the same...They just get smaller.  Also (just me) where I put on the weight last was where I lost the weight first (in my back).  I believe with more weightloss the area will be reduced in size and be less noticeable over time.  My 2 cents...
At your next appointment with your surgeon ask.  They did general surgery for years before they proceeded into WLS.

Never fun but sounds like just cellulite to me. I have it. Going away some with cycling but I'm sure it won't "melt" it all.

I know EXACTLY what you speak of...........

I hate to be the bearer of bad news....I've been avidly working out for 3 years now and my lumps and bumps are still there.....BUT I FEEL GREAT!!

Really, I don't think exercise will eliminate it--but the benefits you'll get from it far outweigh it (pun intended).

Are they noticeable though? I mean mine can't been seen at the moment but I'm afraid when I loose a lot more weight they will make my legs look horrible.

I don't care if they are there. I just don't want to look deformed. :( Mine aren't large lumps/bumps...but you can feel them.

No, they aren't noticable, the lumpy cellulite hides them well!  Seriously, I can feel them the same now as I did 175 lbs ago....and I'm a runner and my legs are still pretty much covered in cellulite....but I've got great muscle tone under it!

The "lumps" feel the same now as they did before.

Just embrace the new you ! you didn't have surgery to become a supermodel but just to get healthy! I am proud of how far I have come but know I will never be the guy that that women drool over!
