This post is the pits....

 Specifically the armpits.

I have written other posts on how much my body has changed.   One that takes me by surprise every day is my armpits.

Seriously - they are not so much pits as sinkholes.  Caves.  Spelunkers could explore them using ropes and pitots.  I may rent them out to a families of four to live in.

Seriously though, I don't know how they got so deep.  When I wash in the shower I am afraid I am going to put my fist through them and out my back.  

Anyone else got the pits from hell?

Oh well - I am at least 4 months out from my upper body plastics.  I am doing the LBL first and letting that heal before doing the rest.  Maybe the extra income from my pit tennants can help pay for that.

Rob, that is so wierd that you posted this.  In the last month or so I have also noticed how cavernous my armpits are.  You described it perfectly.  They are so deep and makes shaving difficult.  I guess I had very fat armpits preop!

 Yep, and add to that folds of skin.  Oh, and the lower part of where a woman would shave is now damn near at my waist.  Nice.   I agree with shaving- really tough to get a close shave in those parts now.  That's ok though, it beats weighing a 132 pounds more :)

 I dont really have to worry about shaving the pits - But I can see how SERIOUSLY that would suck.

I will say this - I am seriously wondering how the chest and stomach hair is going to look after the LBL next month.  I am doing the anchor/Fleur-de-lis cut.  So the surgeon will be removing a wedge shaped patch of skin from the middle and bringing it back together.  The skin on my torso will probably be rotated like the towel in those old cloth towel machines from the restroom.  I will probably wind up having No hair there whatsoever.  

Same thing after I have the brach next year.  Probably the worlds most permanent hair removal!

Cavernous pits?? I'm trying to envision this. I'm feeling my pits and I haven't lost any fat there yet I don't guess LOL

I did discover my hip bones recently. They show now. That was exciting but pits? LOL I guess I can look forward to that.

Hehe, first off can I admit that Rob, I think I'm kinda in love with you ;)  Haha, If you get a good price on rent wanna meet up for a protein shake date?
Ok, on a serious note, dang, this is what I potentially have to look forward to?  Hmmm....wonder if I can fill them in with spackle?  Maybe laser hair removal is a good plan for oh say, like right now! LOL....Maybe I can mentally convince my body to channel  that "specific" fat loss to my cheek bones (the ones on my face ;)~ ) Oh well, I'm a firm believer in plastics, guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it!  But Hey,  you can probably smuggle lots of goodies into the movie theater in those caves right? haha

 Rob -- that is SO funny AND i of course checked mine out while I was reading and I have no answer because my ridiculous bat wings are kinda in the way!!!  However, I should share that I went to see my doctor because I had this REALLY freaky lump kind of in the lower middle of my rib cage.I was scared   --- Turns out.................it's a bone!!!   Gotta love it!!!
