Personal question for the ladies only!



Recommended Posts

Ok so..... first off I apologize for my question. But I’m really curious..... it involves the lady parts post surgery so if you aren’t comfortable with it please leave the thread.

Onto the question: did any of you have appearance changes in the lady parts post surgery? Like.... my lady part is plump.... will this change the more weight I lose? Did any one end up with like saggy skin there?

The answer to your question is yes, you may end up with saggy skin in the lady parts, depending on how much weight you lose. If you are young, maybe not. I know I had it. However, I just had a lower body lift and that includes a "mons lift," which is lifting the lady parts! Believe me, the results are amazing! Everything, and I mean everything, including the lady parts and the whole lower body looks better than it did before I gained the weight!

Unfortunately yes, it will get saggy. I lost 166 pounds and it’s definitely large and saggy down there.

the good news is if you go for a Tummy Tuck procedure they can lift the mons and make it much more presentable down there. But basically I have this gross little sac of saggy flabby skin. I hate it.
I am also in my 30s so if you are younger you may have more elasticity in your skin.

I’m 34 so I’m probably in the same boat as you. I haven’t noticed any sagging yet (90lbs down so far), I’m kinda keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t be bad xD

Mons flab yes, but if you are talking lower down, like labia, then no (at least I didn't, some may have a different experience). But yeah, a Tummy Tuck or mons lift (if that is your plan) will address that nicely. Though plastic surgery or not, the weight loss/loss of bulk makes the usage of the area MUCH better, lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
