Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I think you need to give your bod time to readjust. I remember the sore butt days, and the tailbone agony. There is such a thing that most of us on the grad list are aware of, and that is BBB....or better known as butt-be-back. Even without a weight gain...your body readjusts in time..and you develop more of a roundness back there. I was wondering if it would ever happen. It did, thankfully. I have found my contours are much nicer now...everything has rounded out a bit. Even got some of the boobs back that I lost. I'm looking much more normal now. So give your body time to readjust to the new you! Regards~ Jacque Hello, My name is Beverly and I live in Knoxville, TN. My surgery was LAP RNY on 12/16/02 with Dr. in City, TN. I am a distal. My starting weight was 306 and I now weigh 179. My surgeons goal for me is 139 but I don't think I will get that far. I honestly don't think that I WANT to be that small. At 5'4 " I'm in a sz 10/12 now. I'm 45 yrs old and don't have a desire to be a size 6 or 8. I think a good solid 10 will be a happy place for my body. Plus my thighs have LOTS of extra skin and I don't think they will ever get into a 6 or 8. My TT has been approved by my insurance company and will be scheduled for sometime in the spring. I also need something done to my bottom but that was not approved by the ins co. I am appealing that decision. My bottom is actually concave! It is beyond flat and actually dips in. This causes major sore spots and lots of numbness in my sitter and legs if I sit for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. My bottom feels like it has stone bruises on it. My hip bones feel like they are trying to come out thru my skin. If any of you have any good wording or letters concerning this issue that I could use for my appeal PLEASE send them to me! I'm not great with words and I certainly am not in the medical profession so this appeal is going to be hard for me. My PS says this type of surgery is almost always denied the first request and that an appeal is almost always needed. Wish me luck! He also wants me to have the extra skin on my thighs (he says about 12-15 lbs!)removed but that was also denied. He wants me to appeal this also. I will appeal it but I honestly don't hold much hope for the thighs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have such agony sitting at the computer -- but now, I rarely even think about it. I hadn't thought about the fact that my pants fit " better " now either, since I had my tummy tuck about year ago now, and have attributed changes to that.
