I always enjoy reading this post.. Here is goes... Beginning weight 474 Surgery weight 417 Last week 265 This week 262 I am having trouble with losing weight in the lower part of my body, my hips are so disportioned..anyone else have this problem??? Thanks, Lynn

Lynn, Are you exercising? I tell ya, it really has slimmed down my very big butt, thighs and hips. It has taken awhile, but, has really worked! I actually fit in size 16 pants now. I started as a 32! Woohoo! Lori 384/235/199

Yes Lori, I am exercising, well I am walking 2 miles every evening. Can you suggest somethings I should do. I know you go to the gym, but that isn't available to me. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks, Lynn

I have lipedema...it is the abnormal accumalation of subcutaneous fat in the hips and thighs (and sometimes upper arms). I know, I know big words...but google it and see if what comes up sounds like what you are experiencing. It only occurs in woman. It states that women with lipedema who have WLS will typically lose the majority of their weight above the waist. I can wear a 14/16 top but only a size 26 jean. I also have lymphedema because of the excess weight the fat from the lipedema placed on my lymph nodes. Sarah Can weigh, just moved and haven't unpacked my scale....
