First question - I'm sure many of you have or had thighs that rub together - like me :unsure:. Now that they're not rubbing, will the dark coloring fade over time?

Also, I'm losing weight; however, it all appears to be coming from my bust and behind.

Second question - will the rest of my body finally be in proportion to these shrinking areas? Yes, this may seem like a stupid question to some...

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I have absolutely no clue as to the answers to your questions. It is impossible to predict.

Good luck though!

Glad you asked that question, I've been wondering the same thing!:unsure: I had my band put in on August 10th as well, while I havent lost as much as you have, I seem to be loosing my butt and my boobs instead of the parts I really want to loose, my arms and belly. As far as the dark spots, I dont have any but I'm sure they will fade...Good Luck to you!:seeya:

Hey Cherish...congrats on your weight loss so far.

As far as your questions go...#1. Thigh discoloration. I remember looking there (at about the same stage you are in now) and noticed the strange color. After a few months, my discoloration disappeared.

#2. Proportion of body. I've posted in other threads on how disappointed I was by the fact that I lost weight face first, breasts, arms, legs and even at 20lbs b/4 reaching goal I was still carrying around so much through the middle and lower belly. Yep, it all evened out. Just be patient. See what you end up with when you reach goal (actually give it a year for things to tighten and settle)

Good luck!

      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?
