Lady parts/large mons



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am just starting this process and I’ve looked through a ton of pages (not all cause I just started) and haven’t seen this asked really so wanted to throw it out there

right now my mons pubis is very large and protruding and heavy. I’ve never seen another body like mine even in all the BoPo movement and such on social. So I’m curious... has anyone had that before surgery and after is shrinks? I’m not worried about loose skin, I know I’ll need plastics after since I already have loose skin now at 300+. I’m just worried that I’ll lose weight and that it’ll stick out more and be more noticeable if it doesn’t lose weight too.

like I already can’t wear leggings or tight jeans because it looks like I’m packing junk. My legs have always been athletic so I think that doesn’t help in making it more obvious.

any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated!!!

When you lose weight you lose fat from all over your body (fingers, feet, neck, face as well as the expected tummy, legs, arms, butt & back) so it’s likely you’ll lose fat from there too cause it’s basically a fat pad. I’m definitely more boney down there.

Since you said you will need plastics afterwards, rest assured the plastic surgeon can take care of that for you. When you have a Tummy Tuck it also includes a mons lift. I found it to be quite impressive afterwards!

You will probably lose volume in that area (and all over) after WLS. That does unfortunately seem to always translate to some degree of loose skin. However a mons lift/reduction during plastics can fix it so don’t worry about it too much.

Mine was puffy too. My Tummy Tuck flattened it and lifted it (and seems to have delightfully tightened everything in that area up a bit as well).

Thank you for asking this question. I've certainly wondered about this myself.

Hi, I had surgery on 5/18 and I can see a slight difference but glad to know that the Tummy Tuck will make the most significant changes. I definitely have a larger fupa that hangs low.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
