Is It True What They Say???



Recommended Posts

Okay I admit I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been brought up. But, while it may appear we are gaining in length.... aren't we also losing in diameter? :unsure:

Not here with me. Think about it, if fat gathered there, no guy would ever want to lose weight, and we would all be hooked up to chocolate milkshake IV's.

Plus, I discovered another bonus the other day. With the stomach shrinking, there is no hill between my eyes and my better half's when.....well, you know.

Have to say I've dropped about 40 pounds with the various new positions : and everything got bigger for me . 5' to 9 1/2 (no bs) no problems shaving either for her now. Much more confidence in the bedroom and mirror welcomed . Lmao actually caught myself posing. Another good reason to keep the weight off

This site has fallen very far, very fast.mmi think it is since they merged all the different types of,surgery under one banner. Combine that with a website more interested in showing advertising than letting us communicate and you get this.....a site that I used to visit daily, now visit once a week.

As for progress......what type of progress are you looking for? I don't think it'll grow any more, if that is what you mean.????

The rumours are tru-ish...

Obviously, there's no actual increase...

It's more an increase in accessibility and 'utilizable area'...

Plus the added advantage of increased blood flow, which has its own benefits...

And when you've lost 230+ pounds as I have, the changes are most definitely noticeable..

So yeah...

Ummmmm....

Any questions??

Since this is just us guys here, I'll explain what I have found. Ladies, you are in the Men's Room, so if this kind of stuff bothers you....you have been warned.

I don't have any hard data, like I measured myself before and after. I didn't anticipate this. It has been three years since my surgery. I am 100+ lighter than when I started. I was married for just over 24 years when I had the surgery.

My (soon to be ex) wife and I enjoyed trying things in bed. As time progressed, we noticed that at some point about 10-15 years ago that she could take me whole. She was proud of the fact that she was now as good as the porn stars. We assumed it was because she was getting practice. Turns out I was shrinking as time went on (Or, should I say, other parts of my body were growing to hide the important bits) :angry:

Well, once I started losing the weight......things changed. She could no longer reach the levels she used to achieve. She tried, but at the end of the day, she left 1.5-2" uncovered. :D She also noticed that what used to not quite fill her two hands, now exceeds the two hands by a good amount (She must have small hands guys, I am no porn star here)

So, this is purely anecdotal, but it gives you an idea of the differences you might see as the weight falls away. Add in the fact that you get less tired from physical exertion and that is a great combination.

Good luck

Oh boy this thread could go so deep into the gutter lol.

I'm willing to do some poking around just to see how deep that gutter is

If the lovely gentlemen of this forum are telling the truth, at least they have enough to poke a little deeper into the gutter.

(Sorry, couldn't help myself)

Not to change the subject, but it is true, but not the way you think....truth is it has always been the same, and size does not change....it is just less exposed because of body fat....

Loose weight and you gain more of a "outie" as opposed to a "innie"

hehe. outie/innie. hahahaha love it. :-D

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
