This Is Embarrassing



Recommended Posts

I sagged and still do a little. It's gotten better w/weight loss and I'm hoping it won't be an issue. But, when you're 300 lbs like I was there is extra skin everywhere! :ohmy:

I'm not too bad so far. My somach, hips, and upper/inner thighs are the worst. The loose skin on my upper thigs makes me look like I have bumpy baby thighs. And when I cross my legs (Indian style) I get folds of empty skin. I have needed about 5 pelvic exams in the last month (I'm knocked up) and it's so embarassing. One of the doctors had to literally hold all my loose skin to the side. I was like -- umm, I can hold that for you...

Now that I have had my TT I can see way down yonder. It looks like a camels foot. There is also vacany where the hair used to be. Kind of looks like I need an upsweep like the balding guys do. Poor little thing, used to be firm and tight-just like its mother.

Are you talking about your pubic mound? I have noticed mine is puffy looking and the hair on top is kind of sparse and more to the sides of the mound. I thought it was my fat that really stetched out my mound and when I loose weight the mound size will shrink and the sides of the mound will be more centered again. Does this make sence to anybody?

I think it's called a mons lift. A lot of women find they need them after large weight losses. I figure I got so much else that's sagging that that would be the last on my list of PS to-do's!

My Plastic surgeon did a lift of that area when she did the tummy tuck...thank goodness, it really needed it! The area is still somewhat puffy and swollen, but from what I've read it will get better with time...I told my friends I had a Tummy Tuck and a"kitty lift"! LOL! :regular_smile:

OK so seriously folks. How do they do a kitty lift. Do they just pull up while they pull the tummy skin down? ????

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
