Bone Structure

I read or heard recently that when a person is obese, their skeleton adjusts itself to deal with the added weight.  Sometimes, when you lose weight quickly using gastric bypass, for example, the skeleton doesn’t return to it’s natural alignment. At least that is the impression I got.  That was kind of an interesting concept for me.

I have noticed that some people have a sort of rolling gait, if that makes sense.  And I think some of that is due to excess weight.  There is one woman that has had gastric bypass and, although she has lost A LOT of weight she still walks the same.  I wonder if her bone structure will change as she loses weight.  Seems like it should but doesn’t sound like it does.

Since your skeleton does something “un natural”, does the same thing happen to your internal organs?  Do they behave in a way that is not what they were designed for?? 

All food for thought.
