Weird distribution of loss
The last place that I gained weight was in my stomach (that pouch below the waste). I think I put weight on my upper arms, neck and calves too, but the last primary weight zone was my belly. In 2013 after having problems with implants (post mastectomy) my plastic surgeon did an amazing job using little globules of fat from my belly to replace the (rejected) implants. The surgery took 13 hours, involved half a dozen surgeons, required a week post op in the hospital while they made sure all the microscopic vascular connections worked and blood flow was adequate for dozens of tiny transplants (they even moved lymph nodes and associated plumbing to help with healing and general health of the transplanted fat).
After failing to lose the weight that continues to increase my risk of cancer, I finally decided to have WLS this past March.
Guess what fat my body decided to metabolize first? That old belly fat. I mean I get that the last on is often the first off but seriously? I'm supposed to believe that my body "knows" that this fat now residing over my chest was the same fat it collected last in my belly region? Really? REALLY????
REALLY?????
Our bodies can be total A$$hats.

Same here. My top half is absolutely skeletal looking. You can see my ribs on my upper chest and my shoulder blades - it's kind of off putting. My hips and thighs still have plenty of fat though lots of loose skin.
