Aloha Ladies, I have a kind of personal question? I know as we all have gotten bigger, so have all kinds of places on our bodies, and there are solutions to fixing these particular areas afterward, like tummy tucks and boob jobs, but what about our .."pubic mounds"? If you know what I mean. As I have gotten bigger so has that, and what happens to it after we lose weight? Does it get smaller too? Does the skin shrink back to normal size? Or does it stay stretched out like our tummies, and if it does, OH MY GOSH what does it look like later after weight loss. Please help, the thought of what it might look like after weight loss, and if it doesn't shrink scares me. What a sight it must be.

I was watching a plastic surgery show, don't remember the name, but the woman had lost alot of weight and among other procedures, she had a "pubic lift" done ... so don't worry, there is a solution :)

Nani,

My highest weight was 276 and that area did go back to normal size. I think it would depend on where you carry your weight

I do have a small apron. Thank goodness small enought not to cause me any health problems.

I knew it., knowing my luck, I am one of those that would need a pubic lift. Who would have know that there was such a thing. But.... at least there is such a thing. as long as the pubic skin, doesn't hang past my skirt, I guess it would be manageable. LOL, thanks ladies..

I had a Tummy Tuck a year ago on the 15th. And when they did the tuck, the pubic area was lifted to a degree. For me, that's all it needed. It doesn't stick out any worse the other women my size (not that I am looking on a regular basis!)

I think getting down to a healthy weight usually takes care of the pubic area fat.

      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.
