My mother always said I had calves only a momma cow could love! They are large but muscular - really no juggle to them at all. My question is - will I lose weight in them? I dont want to end up with a small top and popeye legs! Anyone else out there that had same problem but lost the calves as they lost weight??

I have skinny legs (I mean skinny) and they are getting smaller but the definition and shape has remained intact.

You will lose inches. I encourage you to take your measurement now

I have always had large calves due to playing sports in high school. They were muscular and well shaped. I had RNY a year ago, down 141# and while my calves are a lot smaller, they are still large compared to some others at my current weight. But they still have muscle, so I don't mind. As my mom says, those little thumpers still need to get you from here to there... So I am ok with a slightly larger calf. But you most certainly will lose a good majority of them!

My calves were quite large, so much so I gave up on wearing long boots as I couldn't find any to fit me. Now that I have lost weight, my calf width (along with the rest of me), has decreased a lot, but my legs are by no means skinny.

      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?
