Buh-bye front butt



Recommended Posts

Aside from the obvious health benefits from WLS, I have to vainly confess.... i am thorougly looking forward to seeing my "front butt" disappear. My pregnancy ruined my muscles and on top of being overweight it has really sent me into total insecurity about my body. My work uniform does nothing but accentuate the area and Spanx doesnt help much at all. I find myself making sure I carry something in front of me when I leave my desk in order to avoid the looks of people I pass in the hallways. I realize there will always be hanging skin there but its exciting to know that my most insecure area will not be so notiecable once i get down to a manageable weight. YAY!

So my question is, is there anything I can do to tighten loose skin?

That's the million dollar question! I too have a blame it on pregnancy, butt in the front with a lovely apron. C sections, vertical.

I'm a mass of wrinkles on my butt. I've just started doing toning exercises for butt, thighs and abs...who knew I had abs until they started shrieking in pain?

I walk, I dance and jog in my living room.

I'm doing crunches as well as I can get my shoulders off the floor.

I've accomplished some pretty crappy push ups. But, I did them!

Just google some ab toning to do. I'm assuming you're young, that's in your favor.

Let us know what you come up with!

      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?
