OK OK I know. Here is my question, I'm 30 year old male about 5"4 280 now. I'm waiting for insurance approval that was submitted on the 13th. Hope fully its good news soon. So the area or mountain of fat around the penis how does that go away. Fat dissappears? As now seems like my penis is a inne unless get hard or pull it out. Does that area go away? Also I'm hoping I don't have lots of extra skin most of my weight is in belly like a beer gut and then there's the tittys lol. Anyone can help would be great

Mike,

I believe that general estimates claim that for every 30-35 lbs lost, a man can expect to see an additional inch added to length. This is because of the fat pad that is just above and surrounds the penis. I believe that this number is an average and may not hold true for everyone. Everyone has their fat distributed around their body differently. I can say that in one of my previous attempts at weight loss, I dropped 50 lbs and I noticed a very big difference. I totally understand your desire to know what might happen. I can tell you that this can be a really good motivationer. I am scheduled for sleeve surgery in September and I can tell you that this is one thing that I am definitely looking foward to.

It just fits into my life. I just graduated from earning a Masters while working full time and with another part time job recently. I need just a little bit of down time. Not to mention that I may be transitioning into a new job within the next few weeks AND the most important reason is that is when I will have enough time off accrued in order to take two weeks to recover.

      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.
