Never thought I'd consider cosmetic surgery



Recommended Posts

Congratulations! Mine is with my 9 year old daughter. I'm not sure if I'm going to have to go slow for her, or if she's going to tap into some 9 year old energy and I'm going to have to struggle to keep up with her... lol

Compression shorts under or on top. I would say under. Unless you fell like a peacock and want to attract some ladies, under your sweatpants will probably make your spouse less paranoid. Especially if you are making better progress than her. As for cosmetic surgery, male breast reduction for Gynecomastia or plastic surgery to remove excess skin can cause nerve damage to the nipples. So unless your moobs / flapjacks are really giving you a problem, you have to weigh the risks against the benefits.

@@OKCPirate Do you find that the Nike Dri-FIT Phenom Vapor compression shorts get less stinky than regular compression shorts? For some reason compression shorts get ripe after just a few hours. It must be the material or something. I've never bought the Nike brand so am wondering if it is worth the extra expense.

Nikasio, I noticed many synthetics do smell bad, I have not noticed it with these. Mine are Nike 12.5cm Phenom Two-in-One Men's Running Shorts. Not true compression, but it's enough. Oh, I got mine at an outlet in Phoenix for $18 a pair, so look around.

BTW, I am really enjoying this shirt: https://www.underarmour.com/en-us/mens-heatgear-renegade-compression-short-sleeve/pcid1236236-001

No smell, but you look like a superhero, and no jiggle.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
