I have been noticing post-op TT pictures where the girly parts appeared to be pulled forward....really freaky! I have a consult with a local plastics guy on Friday and that question is on my list! So glad you mentioned it, thought it was just me...I kept thinking maybe that is what it looks like with no belly skin hanging down over it?! LOL

Hoosiergirl, can you show me examples of this? i haven't seen those photos. What I see is that the incision line is low so it keeps that overhanging tummy from becoming your "mons" area.

I haven't had that problem. My incision is really low so the hair does come up to the incision line. But I don't think that my mons area looks stretched. Of course I had not seen it in so long, I am just assuming that this is what it is supposed to look like. Lmao

Here is an example I found on Real Self - there have been many others http://www.realself.com/photo/582153?offset=22&topic_id=553

I cannot determine if this is what it should look like because mine is well hidden by hanging skin! Lol

My incision is right at my hair line. It did pull my girl parts and I love it! It doesn't look funny or wrong it looks normal. Not saggy any more. I really didn't expect for that to happen so it's a bonus!

Although I have hanging down lower abdomen and cannot clearly "see" what is below, when I lift the hanging skin and pull, my parts do come forward and I don't want that. Maybe it stretches back over time? Really interested to see what my plastics consult reveals on the topic. Will be sure to post what I learn on Friday....

Just back from my first consult with a plastic surgeon. Here is what she said when I asked her about the lady parts being pulled forward.

She said that sometimes surgeons take too much skin and then they have to pull the lady parts way forward to close the gap. She also said that when it's pulled that tight and that far forward, it creates a couple problems. The urine will flow forward instead of down. Also when everything is that tight it can cause problems with intercourse.

She said you want the muscles tightened, not the skin pulled that tight.

      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.
