I have kneecaps! I forgot I even had them since I had so much fat around my knee.

Anyone else discover a body part they didn't think they actually had?

Hi:

My collar bones showed up after many years of not seeing them.

Enjoy your knee caps!

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

I'm beginning to realize that I actually have slender shoulders. And I can feel my hip bone! Who Knew?!

Angel1955, welcome to lap band talk. There are lots of wonderful people here to talk to. Feel free to pm me with any concerns. I'm only four months out, and yes, I was scared, many of us were, so you're in good company. It's the best thing I've ever done!

Yes I have very bony shoulders too. When I lay down on the couch it hurts because I don't have no padding there no more. It's great! Hopefully i'll get a bony butt!

Hi Angel! Welcome to LBT. Good luck with your seminar. You won't be sorry! This was my 1st major surgery since I had my tonsils removed when I was 4 and it was no problem. Good luck with your journey hope it goes well for you!

As the months pass you'll notice more and more. I have shins now, ankles, a rib cage, collar bones, hip bones, a chin and tiny little wrists. None of my rings fit. They all fall off! My hands don't even look familiar. My shoe size has gone from a 7 to a 6. Being able to cross my legs again after years was my big milestone!

I now have a chin, narrow face, knee caps, shoulder blades, hip bones. I now love wearing tops that emphasize my shoulders & neck. My shoe size went from a 9.5/10 to an 8.5. I can now wear a size 6 ring. All my old rings are way too big (like 8's).This past winter I bought 2 pair of tall boots b/c my calves were finally small enough to zip them.

within the last week or so my son found my shoulder bones! I was rocking him before bed (he's three) and he actually moved off my shoulder to my chest because it hurt his head where he was laying on my shoulder. the next night he did it again and said it was "too bony" (quoting me from the night before)...who'da thunk it?

Crishell - I cannot wait to finally be able to buy a pair of tall boots and be able to zip them up!!! It's going to be a while because I have fat calves.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
