I have a crease across on my upper stomach, which I thought it was due to my fat stomach roll, but my skinny daughter (she has scoliosis) has the same crease now. Does anyone know if this can be from the scoliosis?
I have no idea. I have a crease from my squished up body for so many years. It's finally starting to level out though now after surgery.
Weird.

If you think about it, with the scoliosis one side is lengthened and one side is compressed. You could be really skinny and look like you have a fat roll when really it is just from the curve. I dont remember the whole concave convex thing, but i will just use this instead, if this ( is the spine the Lt side would be the lengthened side and the roll would be on the curved in Rt side.
I have always hated the "roll" that would hang over the top of my pants like I was "fat". I had friends that weighed a lot more than me but looked thinner. I had my surgery in Jan 05, I gained about 2 1/2" in height since my surgery. I still have the "roll" but its not as bad or as noticeable.
I am very slim and I do not notice many rolls but when I bend over a roll started to appear above my stomach.

I was hoping that after this upcoming surgery I don't have multiple rolls of fat in my stomach. I have to say I feel like a little buddha doll... I know woman have a change in their bodies thru menopause but this is too much!!! I lose an inch, I get another roll of fat... Please tell me some will go away...I feel like it looks like a beer belly..& I don't even drink beer!
