How to deal with loose skin "down there"? Ladies only maybe



Recommended Posts

Was just wondering if there is anyone out there that has saggy, loose, flabby skin on their genitals (pubis) after loosing all the weight. My weight loss is slow going and whatnot, but I am still down over 100lbs. from my highest and am now noticing this. I was ready and expecting the loose saggy skin everywhere else...so I have no idea why I didn;t for this area?!? lol Is there even any exercises to do for this area...it's not like it's muscle under it or anything? Just flab....and is there anyone else out there dealing with this? Am I alone here? LOL

Thanks, Val

No answers just feel your pain.

Yup, just like dust, fat gets in everywhere.

I doubt that there is any exercise for a sad vulva, but there is reconstructive surgery. The procedure is one of the many miracles that plastic & reconstructive surgeons perform. I've known of a couple of women who went that route after they'd been at goal for a while and were very happy with the results. I don't recall whether either combined the procedure with another or if it's advisable to do so. One reported that her down there looked like the down there of a teenager. Not too shabby, huh?

Per the testimonies of many who've had tummy tucks -- this can get fixed as part of that procedure.

ok, never even thought about it as a part of the plastic surgery add ons :) I already have my surgeon picked out for when the time comes...Thanks everyone! Any clue as to what the procedure is called?

I think it's just a pubis lift.

      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.
