ErinSue2000 48 Posted February 4, 2013 Ok I am having surgery Friday! But what I am wondering is with my pear shaped body(bigg butt big thighs a belly) where I should experience weight loss on my body! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewelsm1127 351 Posted February 4, 2013 I think for the most part we maintain our body shape, just a smaller version of it. And I've seen several vets here post that women tend to lose from the top down. I lose weight overall...everything goes down as I lose weight, but my shape doesn't change. Everyone loses weight differently though so I don't think anyone could answer this question for you, probably just share their own personal experiences. 1 DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dani_nyc 224 Posted February 4, 2013 I'm having my surgery Friday too! I'm also pear shaped.. I was wondering the same thing A friend of mine that was banded had lost weight on top then she started losing on the bottom.. But everyone's bodies are different 1 ireallywannabthin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ErinSue2000 48 Posted February 4, 2013 Congrats to you Dani! I don't know about you but as Friday draws closer I am getting more and more excited! The reason I ask this question cause there is a girl at Walmart the had weight loss surgery and she is real small on her top half but yet fairly large on bottom and that is my fear!
