I heard the dr. tell his assistant to look at the color of my fat. It was not yellow - more brownish red (mixed with blood of course). Is this normal? He took out 800cc from each side (waist and bra line fat) and it was all pretty much brownish - def not yellow. He told her it was just the color of my insides, but I was curious if someone had a better explanation. I read brown fat is better, but I am 5'8 and 189 38 yr old female and I would doubt my fat is better...lol.
