BUTT BE BACK SYNDROME
(Urban Legend or Scientific Fact?)
By: Jennifer Ross Sawyer, MA, LPC, NCC, Jennifer Ross Sawyer, Counseling and Consultation
After my weight loss surgery, I noticed that my bottom had practically fallen off! One thing I didn’t like about my new figure was this—Where did my hips go? JLo would be appalled at how flat my rear was.
Our nurse said, “Don’t worry. It will be back.”
“Sure…ah, and when might that be?” I asked.
“Oh, around two years out. There is a syndrome called ‘Butt Be Back Syndrome.’ Look,” she said, “Mine is back!”
“Butt Be Back Syndrome? You’ve got to be kidding.”
“I can’t guarantee that it will happen for you, but I know that lots of us experience it. When we first lose weight, we seem to lose our butts. Then, one day around the second year, we notice that it’s back. Just wait. You’ll see.”
“Yeah, right.”
P.S. Mine’s back!
It’s true! AAAAAH!
