So here I am almost 3 months out of surgery and feeling disguisting. I used to be a full B cup and now I'm an A. My butt used to be one of my best features and now its completely flat. Yes I know its all the fat of my body now gone, but why couldn't it be my stomach that I lose first. I feel so unattractive and sad. Anyone else hating their appearance?

Have you talked to a counselor? That will help some with the body image issues. I still have parts of me that I don't like, but that's true for ANY woman, not just WLS patients.

I'm almost three months out too and I too have the same problems. I've already decided I will have to get breast augmentation. As far as my butt goes, it's definitely flatter and I've been so busy concentrating on my thighs and arms that I've neglected it. I'm going to add more butt lift moves to my exercise regimen.

I have lost some of my butt, but I figure I will just have to do a workout geared to lift and firm. I think I will order that brazilian butt lift workout, it seems to work. I'm still losing so I don't know where I will end up but I'm happy with what I've lost and will work to improve areas that I feel need it. I'm not going to be sad or upset about my body because I want to enjoy the journey.

I agree with Lissa, this is the best time to seek a therapist to work on body image issues. Look in the mirror and look at your body. Isn't it looking good? Yeah it sucks to have an A cup, but that's ok. You are looking better every day. Start adding butt lifts to build muscle in your gluteus maximus. :)

Hey, it's time to Celebrate that flab! Yep, that is beautiful flab! It's better flab than fat! And you rock them clothes! Your healthier and much happier now and that's all that really matters..... Time to look at the flab in a different light......It's better than fatty tissue...... :)

Workout the areas you don't like or change up your workout routine. My Bari buds are telling me your fat shifts, so you need to workout a different area.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
