Marquel 31 Posted January 14, 2013 My husband and I were talking about the surgery and he said "soon you will only have to worry about loose skin" I said, I think I may have a little on my stomach if any (I'm 235 now preop) Then he says to me "well you have a lot on your back" ...meaning fat! I thought to myself, ok so he thinks I'm going to have loose skin in my back!!! Or was this his last dig he will be able to get in, before I lose weight. Whatever! I was upset for awhile but I just thought... It will be gone soon! (Surgery 1/24) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KhadijahRose 66 Posted January 14, 2013 I'm sorry you had to hear that. People don't realize how sensitive a topic ones body is, and you really find out what people thought or think of your body and how you eat as you lose weight. Even those closest to us can be a bit insensitive when they think they're being helpful. I hope all turns out well during and after your surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Dean* 1,594 Posted January 14, 2013 I hate to say it, but he may be feeling a little insecure about how you'll look down the track. Good luck with your surgery. 1 Marquel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carol Watts 67 Posted January 14, 2013 I was 246 pre op I dont have that problem I am at 186 now. So don't let what he said bother you. Do what you need to do for you. My husband said something about me being fat before I even considered this surgery. It hurt my feelings so I called and went to dr and had the surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeauxForIt 659 Posted January 14, 2013 And for the record, my back fat disappeared quickly!! That's the 2nd place my weight loss showed (after my face). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petra1124 33 Posted January 14, 2013 I HATE BACK FAT!!! I am still on the long road to approval...but if and when I have this surgery, saying goodbye to back fat will not come soon enough! I also hate the side boob....I hope that will go away with little to no extra skin, but my skin is on the thin side there. I just hope it can bounce back! Will have to look into a good firming skin lotion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeriouslyChange 319 Posted January 14, 2013 My room mate calls me a fat ass to this day and I'm almost 50 pounds down. I know he's insecure about how amazing and confident I look and feel but it still bothers me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunnydee 40 Posted January 14, 2013 O I hate my back fat! That is one of the main things i pray goes quick. Now I have been having dreams about the loose skin...I hope that does not become a big issue for me. I am gonna work out as soon as I can. Does anyone know if some sort of compression garmet would help in our shrinkage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautyandbeyond 227 Posted January 16, 2013 Can't wait for the ugly back fat to go! Just glad I am a chick and at least the bra sort of camouflages most of it (them). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
