I was always heavier on the bottom but I have now evened out. My legs and butt are alot smaller and I am in proportion with the loss.

I am small on the lower half now before surgery. Where, how, and when should/ would I begin to research the butt topic? I have never had a back end and when I loose this weight its going bye bye. This is sometime I have always wanted all of my life. I would appreciate some help if you know of some procedures that could help me.

I saw on Youtube; a woman with butt implants that wasn't done right and could she flip them around it horrified me so bad. I just thought that I would be "Butt-less in Minnesota". I rather have no butt than to risk that. LOL, LOL LOL.

I am pre-op but this is my experience when I lost weight previously after having my daughter. I have always been bottom heavy. At 5 1.5 inches and 120lbs, I was called "fat" because any extra weight I carried was in my butt. I had scrawny shoulders, no bust, no belly. When I delivered my daughter, I was about 185. Losing the baby weight was a struggle, took about 18 months. I never lost it all but got down to 130. What I did do was a lot of upper body Nautilis as well as leg work. I still had strong legs and a big butt but by building up my shoulders and chest muscles, I was more proportioned. I was wearing an 8 then. I'd love to get to about 120 post op but I'll be thrilled if I hit 130 again; I have lost a half an inch due to herniated discs.

Building up your lower half isn't hard. Do lunges, leg presses. Any exercise that is designed to "tone" a butt and thighs will also build muscle there as well.

I got junk in the trunk as well. Lol. I'm shaped like Chaka khan. We are about the same height. Always been hour glass shaped even @ 299 lbs. I just embrace it!

I'm preop and I'm praying that I don't lose my butt. I don't want to look disproportionate (which I think you are referring to) but I would like to have the coke bottle shape. If my belly goes it will be awesome but then again its look like a bag of laundry or be thinner and healthier.

They say women gain from the bottom up and lose from the top down! Lol

From my previous weight loss experience to build my buttock I would do squats, lunges, & walk the treadmill at a 10% incline. I was dating my husband at the time. So, I'd say it worked! ;-)

I'm curious as to how I shall look when I get smaller. I am currently preop but I have very little tummy (I'm 275) so I am def bottom heavy. I am going to do lots of squats to maintain the booty.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
