Wondering About Body Parts Sagging.



Recommended Posts

My surgery is 12/10 and my concern is that things will start to sag- especially my sexy parts- boobs, hoohoo. How much did your girlie parts sag? Is it terribly unattractive in your eyes? Thanks- I know this is an awkward question.

My boobs are very saggy and much smaller than they were pre-surgery. My vaginal area isn't noticeably saggy. My butt is saggy. It is all rather unappealing but I looked terrible naked when I was fat too. At least now I look good in my clothes. My husband used to love my big boobs and hasn't complained once about my new body. He will take the ability to, pardon me, bend me like a pretzel over the way my body used to be.

I love it! Thank you for your honesty. I'm looking forward to the idea that I will be able to please my hubby better. And it's true- things don't look so hot now- cant get much worse. My boobs- they are huge, 44F. I'm afraid they are going to deflate into empty potato sacks. Lol but eventually I think I'll get them reduced anyhow.

I think it is very individual. I have pretty elastic skin despite being 66 years old. Some stuff is sagging some isn't, again it is very genetic.

I used to be a 40H and now I wear a 34D and I think I need to move to a smaller cup size still. If that gives you any idea. I am never going to be completely happy with my body anyway. At least now I am healthy and I feel so much better!! On the up side, my arms look fantastic! I'm very proud of them. Still SO worth it!!

Having given birth several times and being 53 yrs old, everything sags anyway. Nothing to do with weight.

I'm almost 65 yrs old. When we we you sleeved? 10/10/12 for me. How is your weight loss ? My arms which were like hams pre op are disgusting ! Started out at the seminar at 272.8 lbs and this morning was 227.5. Kind of slow I think.

Your down 45lbs and it's only been two months?? I think that is awesome, and I know that we will all deal with sagging. Just take it in stride at least your healthier and will have more energy well at least that's all I care about

I was sleeved at 28. I chose a higher goal weight (170)- bmi currently 28 i think. so I have zero saggy skin, a round butt and perky breasts still. Plus my weight is easy to maintain :)

A couple of weeks ago I started using It Works body wraps and defining gel. I'm not quite 2 1/2 months post op and have lost almost 45 lbs. I worry about sagging skin so I'm going to use the It Works products throughout my journey. Skin on my chest has already tightened and with my first stomach wrap, I lost 7 inches total.

To the OP question

Yes the girly parts can be saggy. I guess it depends on how much fat you have in that area. I actually had mine "lifted" after a previous weight loss. Now I find that the girly parts now are more loose and flabby if you know what I mean, but it does seem like some of the fat is shrinking from this area. I still have some weight to lose so hopefully it will continue to improve.

I do notice too that my fat is squishy, I think as the fat goes the skin is trying to shrink up to keep up but in the interim your fat is a little squishy, this too I hope will improve. I still will be going for a thigh/arm lift they have no hope at this point.

      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.
