The pad does shrink but the extra skin is still there. That said there is more "usable" length; just be careful not to hurt your partner with your enthusiasm for the extra length.

I would second that - the fat shrinks along with everywhere else, but there is still some skin sag (along with other places), so the locker room appearance may not have changed a lot, but there is more practical "reach" there now, just as there was when my wife lost her pubic pad after her surgery a few years ago. I expect that I will need to have a bit of tightening done when this is all over and that would get picked up along with the ab region.

This happened with me also! The pad is shrinking and I have atleast and extra 2-1/2" to 3 " of exposure in the flaccid state and the other state is doing well also :rolleyes: it has been a great side benefit....

I read somewhere that for every 35 pounds you lost you gain a usable inch.

I don't think that is true otherwise men who lose 200 pounds would gain 6 inches. There are only so many inches there to begin with. But, hey, no worries. You get extra inches on your manhood and we get extra inches in boob sag. You got the better end of the deal there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
