Fat Relocation!!
I am 2 lbs away from being at my smallest weight in 18 YEARS!!! I'm so excited. But .....there is always a but....what the heck is going on with my body?? When I lost weight with the band, my legs were smaller, my stomach was almost gone, my boobs were bigger, hips were narrower, butt was bigger. I weigh LESS now then my lowest with the band. 211 as of this morning YIPPEE! However, my boobs are about gone, my a** IS gone, my hips are still wide, my legs are still big, and my stomach is still there. Did all of my fat relocate when I gained it back this time after the band? Did nature just take over and put the fat where it needed to go? I just don't understand. I AM NOT COMPLAINING...I just find it really odd what a difference a few years can make!!! Anyone else notice this?

When I got home from the hospital I swore that my boobs shrank on the OR table. But I definately lost in my boobs & butt first, then arms & thighs and gradually abdomen. Panni's still holding on tight but I spanx it into submission.....

I nkow how you feel. I shrink from the top down and the bottom up. My thighs and belly are still there. But I have to say they are starting to shrink now which is exciting.
CONGRATS! on the 211 !!!

Boobs and butt gone here, but my stomach and thighs are definitely still around! I really wish I could have kept a little in the rear end department since I'm left with just bones left. It hurts to sit!!!! I just wish we had buttons to push for where we want the fat to come off of. I would have chosen a LOT differently than my body is now!
I so feel your agony!! When I had lost weight before using diet pills I lost it pretty quick too, and yes my boobs did get a bit smaller, but that was OK b/c they were huge to begin with. That being said when they shrunk they perked up and seemed firm. Now on the other hand I have the proverbial grapefruits in a stocking... I am hoping once I am done losing I can get this fixed, it's so bad, hard to get your sexy back when you're swinging..lol
