"buffalo Hump" From Obesity Posted: 03-17-05 17:40pm
Hey all. I've had this hunch in my
neck/upper back since high school. I've
been trying to find out about it and i've
discovered it most resembles a condition
most commonly called "buffalo hump."
based on the causes i've read about online
it seems to be related to my obesity. It
appeared about the time I got heavy. So,
if I lose weight does it diminish?
If not, is there any way to "cure" it?
Or at least make it less prominent or
prevent it from getting worse?
If the news is bad, tell me anyway.

Question Posted: 04-12-05 17:23pm
Is it really hard when you push on it?
I was watching this medical show and this
woman had something similiar to what you
are describing (not sure if its the same
thing) well she got liposuction after
losing lots of weight and they had to use
liposuction to get it out. They said
that hers was really hard and it was
between the shoulder blades but a little
above that just below the neck. Maybe
it goes away but maybe it doesnt. If
this woman had the same thing you have,
then maybe it doesnt just go away after
weight loss...?

Nah, it's squishy like a fat roll on my
neck. I've been losing weight and it's
already gone down a bit. If it never
goes away completely, o.K. But i've been
encouraged.
