Tmi alert! Vag fat and peeing!



Recommended Posts

Two questions for those who have lost a significant amount of weight!

1. Do your lady parts shrink? Like the lips and mons pubis? Or do they stay fat?

2.after 3 babies, my bladder leaks a little throughout the day, requiring a panty liner. Will this get better when I no longer weigh 275 lbs?

Yes and Yes!! Both have happened to me. I'm 15 months out and 120# lighter. Good luck with your journey!

That bladder leaking is actually stress incontinence and yes it gets better almost immediatly. I remember being super embarrassed because of always thinking I smelled like a diaper and now no issues at all.

And yes I can tell you your vag is gonna get cute! My hubby never could do oral and now its tight and he loves it. So don't worry you lose weight EVERYWHERE.

My friend who had VSG and I both had problems knowing when we had to pee after surgery. I asked my Dr about that and she told me that the weight of some of our stomachs is so much that it always pressed on our bladder (think pregnancy).

After the sleeve I no longer have that and even though I've lost very few lbs, I have to remind myself to go. So keep that in mind because apparently (at least in my support group) not knowing when to pee is a pretty common surprise post-op.

This is my favorite thread yet!! Laid back humor yet the true facts.

The topic title is definitely an eye catcher :) I no longer have the FUPA (fat above "p" area). I was worried it would be saggy but it along with the lips have both tightened up quite nicely! :D

Omg!! You mean there's a chance my Fupa will go away ?? I thought for sure it would have to be cut off

Mine has! It's great! :rolleyes: I do have a friend that had to have hers tucked but she lost almost 200 pounds! So makes sense there!

Sorry to burst OP's bubble but it doesn't always lose the extra fat in that area. I have had Lipo and a labia reduction as I hadn't lost enough fat in this area...................best of luck to you though, maybe age will be a factor.

This has been a topic of convo with me and a few of my sleeved girlfriends...however, has anyone noticed that their "insides" shrunk too??...in the spirit of tmi and all. We've got some pretty "heavy hitters" for s/o's that now feel like they're hitting TOO MUCH. Anybody else experienced this?

OMG, yes. I find myself trying to hold my husband back. Weird that we want it more, but I'm fighting to handle it all in a good way. It's just unbelievable & overwhelming at times. They say be careful what you wish for. Lol....

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
