Hi, I am 47 yrs old, with every disc problem known to man kind in my lower back. I also have bursitis & neuropathy (no diabetes). I have a long list of other medical issues, but they aren't related to all this. I am currently 80 - 100 lbs overweight, & my breasts are a size I. After surgery, the Dr thinks he will remove about 10 lbs & I will happily be a D cup!

Overweight more noticeable after surgery?
sj1800January 6, 2014
As I mentioned & you can see from my pic, I've got a pretty good stomach in place. I'm wondering once I do the BR, is my stomach going to be even more noticeable? Of course of like to lose the weight, but as we all know it's easier said than done . I considered having WLS, but I feel it is to risky for me , so that leaves good 'ole fashion diet & e ex exercise. Did anyone feel like their stomach looked bigger after surgery? Dix it moti Ate u to lose the extra weight

I have found that my tummy is more noticeable post-op. I was very overweight prior to surgery and my breast hid my tummy but once I had my surgery there was nothing to hide my tummy :-)

I guess you feel so much better after the surgey that i woudn't think too much of the tummy. Yes it will stand out more, but maybe that is benefitial because you have more drive to diet and do something about it then now. I hope this strategy works for me too as i have read it here from a few other women too

I am prepared for the fact that post surgery, my tummy is going to look huge, but telling myself that it will be an incentive to lose a bit of weight and tone up. One step at a time I think. A lot of people find it hard to exercise before the BR which is ironic if they get told to lose weight.

I'm 35 y/o a 38 J I'm 5'3 192 pounds. I worry a b/r will make me look fatter but I think ppl can see my fatness now, I just can't see it because my huge boobs hide the view. I say go for it. I have low disc problems too and now shoulder and neck pain all the time. I think being healthy and pain free is more important than looking slim. I'm trying to think this way but it's hard. Everyone wants to look nice :) best of luck.
