Well I'm not exactly going to keep you updated. Let's just say that I'm very pleased with the results, and leave it at that. Fellow XY chromosome folks: this alone is reason to lose the lard!

I agree 110%. It would be great to feel like a man again! I am looking forward to it as well. Sleeving next week and the beginning of other things being "UNSLEEVED" :)

Ok, i know i'm totally crashing in on the guys party, but i'm a nursing student and have a question. I have taken care of obese patients with this issue so i'm quite familiar with it.

My question is...at what point of becoming overweight does it begin to ... well... hide? Like what is the process? At 50lbs overweight is it halfway gone? All gone? what??

Just trying to understand the male body and appreciate all it's facets. :)

FYI .......Orpah did a show with Dr. Oz not that long ago where this was discussed....see answer below...

Men can make their penises bigger. If you are overweight, losing 35 pounds adds one inch to the penis. Unfortunately, this rate of "growth" slows as you lose weight. Technically, you're not actually making it grow but, rather, losing the pelvic fat that's currently covering it. As you gain weight, the fat engulfs your penis and crowds out the light and you may begin to feel that it's "out of sight... See More Answers ?

I was just going to quote this same source!! I always "Dangle" it (pun intended) in front of hubby when he is dieting LOL.

Yeah, I've lost about 70 lbs of belly fat. I wouldn't say 2 inches, but a good 1 to 1.5. Again, it's all a perception thing (that particular part of you pretty much doesn't change size aside from the, um, natural size changes, no matter what the commercials tell you), but hey -- perception is EVERYTHING down there :(

At least you can see yours now, without pulling back the belly! I look forward to that day ...

I'm going out on a limb here and asking this because I don't know... when it's hidden by the fat pad, does it appear enough when you're 'excited' (for lack of a better term) to do the deed?

I'm trying to be as discreet as possible, but it's hard to when asking this kind of question..and i understand if no one wants to answer... :thumbup::ciappa::w00t::001_tt2:

Yes. But there isn't as much to hang onto. :w00t: Every guy wants to feel as though he can "measure up" in the locker room, so one pleasant side effect of weight loss is an increase in, um... "stature." ;)

Thank you for the candidness! :)

I never knew this was an issue until I saw (gasp) my father's when he was sick in the ER. :glare: And i'm a nursing student...so i just want to be as informed as possible when the day comes and I have to care for obese patients. :thumbup1:

Only about one month since the surgery and my fat pad seems to be where I've lost the most weight. Either that or I notice it more, just like the total number of views of this thread. :)

      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!!
