reshiapooh96 31 Posted October 17, 2013 Hello! I would like to hear from anyone that is or know someone else that is/had an apple shaped body. I am in the process of band removal to RNY. I have an apple shaped body meaning that my arms and legs are already thin but my upper body (torso) is very rounded. It is there on the upper body in which I carry my weight. I know I would probably need plastics on the lower abdominal, but can anyone else relate to what I'm saying? will things fall into place? 1 MinnesotaDreaming23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinnesotaDreaming23 17 Posted October 17, 2013 That is the question.. I would like to know also. I look through youtube videos for someone that looks like me all the time. I don't want to lose nothing on the bottom at all. I have a short torso and look bulky on the top portion. Good luck and let me know if you figure this one out.

tinkycheeks 31 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm apple shaped. I've had four children and at five months post op, I still carry most of my weight in my tummy area. My arms, too, actually. I will absolutely need a Tummy Tuck or at least panni in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pattycakes209 1 Posted October 18, 2013 Hello im new here and will be having a gastric band revision on October 29th. I am currently on day 3 of my 2 week pre OP diet. I'm wondering how long your revision surgeries took and how long were you in the Hospital afterwards? Also what was the pain like post OP? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I know that I'll need a panni and upper arms done. I'm in my late fifties so I need it done like yesterday... LOL. But I am an active person and still want the body that I haven't had since I was fifteen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
