I have yet to be approved for surgery. 2 more visits with my doc but I joined here so that I could see what I have to look forward and get some pointers....but this post....this post made my day!!!! I laughed to tears over the whole thread (my co-worker thinks I am nuts). Thank you for the info and laugh!!! Have a great day everyone!!!

Just to show how sick I am.... "buried penis" made me think of bedroom games with pirate hats and eye patches. "Arrrgh, Matey! You've found One-Eyed Willy!"

Why have no men responded yet? Not sure if these will help but my husband wears Duluth ballroom boxer briefs. He says they give him support & freedom. They are pricey for underwear but I think they’re on sale now. Fabric is nice too, especially those made for cooling the nether regions. Now I’m wondering how many balls have rested on my chairs (at waiting rooms, etc.) before I sat in them. lol

I just found out that my insurance through work will be changing RIGHT before surgery. My date is June 5 - insurance changes over to a new company on June 1. I'm working with our insurance rep to make sure there's no delays but man-o-man i'm nervous now! anyone else go through this? going from United Healthcare to Cigna. I did find out that my surgeon is IN network, but awaiting news on approval. ugh.

So I'm down from 337 to 196. And that's been great. But there are constant adjustments. Some of these adjustments are... awkward. This is straight up male TMI info coming up so you have been warned. For instance, my entire adult life, my uh, business, let's call it, fit into underwear and pants a certain way, and sat a certain way. It was weird enough when I had to switch sizes on underwear over and over, then switch styles, finally settling on medium sized Adidas boxer briefs that manage to keep everything where I'm used to/comfortable with it, even without the help of a bunch of excess body fat pushing it outward... while I am standing anyway. But the latest thing--and I am truly sorry for bringing this up, but where the heck else am I going to talk about this?--is that it turns out that the change in my body shape now means I am sitting on my family jewels. Well, not on them, but they rest on the chair/seat now. OK, well not on the chair, but resting much lower than I am accustomed, such they they feel like they are. They used to sort of rest on my fat/splayed out thighs. This is truly weird and I'm still not used to it. It's making me think I need to find another kind of underwear again.

Welcome to the club! You have a great day as well!

Someone here recommended these a while ago, and they work pretty good - not as good as being nekked, but help keep things under control when ya gotta be presentable to society - https://www.amazon.com/Athletic-Underwear-Adjustable-Support-Spandex/dp/B076ZYKNLZ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1524703913&sr=8-7&keywords=ufm+underwear+for+men

My program is St. Peters Bariatrics in NY. Surgeon is Mehul Trivedi, Surgical PA is Tyler Chenel. They are wonderful charismatic skilled professionals. I don't See Trivedi often and I'm cool with that. I prefer he works on maintaining his skill level by going to conferences, updating training, clocking surgical hours etc. That is his craft and I'm thankful for it. No complications not even nausea, it's like I never had surgery at all. Chenel is wonderful, also highly skilled and friendly. 10/10 recommend.

Ok first I am going to send you a big big hug from where I am to where you are. I am going to congratulate you on loving yourself enough to take this step to change for the better. You can do this. Now for some tips. Sugar is basically cocaine and if you can detox from that the sooner the better and you will be less hungry. Protein is going to become your best friend. Learn how to get it in in a variety of ways. Also there are going to be days when you do amazing at this it will come so easy then there will be others where you will fall into temptation and just feel angry. Let those feelings pass. Acknowledge them then let them go. Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app
