Okay, okay, I know I'll get a whole lot of "size doesn't matter" responses to this, and it's embarrassing to even ask. However...

To us guys, our "endowment" is intimately tied to our self-esteem. Now, on that front, I'm doing okay genetically speaking, but, well, I'm fat. Obese. The result of that is that I have a big gut hiding... things from me, and a fat pad above the pubic area that also makes stuff look smaller than it really is.

Any guys (or gals for that matter) know if losing the weight will make the, um, package area more prominent?

I know, I know, it's silly and shallow, but then again -- isn't all concern over our appearance silly and shallow? I'm not counting on a dramatic change in this area, but it would be nice to have that uh... little REMINDER that "hey, I'm a man after all!"

Anyone?

Well well...this is a great thread. I'm not sleeved yet but with just my pre-op weight loss I've seen some "improvements". If you'd like ladies, I'll post some before and after pics! JUST KIDDING!! LOL. :lol:

I read before that a guy will gain about an inch with 70 pounds lost...

I wish I could remember where I seen it....

I remember from some where an inch for each 30lbs lost... maybe Dr. Oz a few years ago

Hmmmm, maybe this could be a new advertising angle for doctors.

Seriously, this is one of the best things about weight loss surgery. Guys, don't walk, run to your surgeon. Imagine all the promises they give you on those "Extenze" commercials. Now, imagine that they're REAL. And imagine that they're PERMANENT.

It's like permanent, side-effect-free Viagra.

Seriously.

I'm just going to stop there.

Almost four months out, I have to say that I knew there would be a difference but didn't realize it would be that big of one. Pun intended.

Why is it that guy get bigger bits and the girls end up losing their boobs????? HMMMMMM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

These posts do no good without pictures ha ha ha Just kidding, I know it's not appropriate, but thought it would get a good laugh ! ! !

I'm a pretty new sleever and I'm already noticing a difference down there. I've heard that it's "30lbs = +1 inch of manhood" from the show ***** as Folk. As to if it's true or not... so far I'm going to go with yes.

Edit - lol... apparently it blocked the word "Q U E E R" from the "Q as Folk" in my above posting for some reason.

One inch for every 30 pounds... is that possible. Just trying to do the math. So if you lost 150 pounds you are talking an extra 5 inches... my jaw is on the floor if this is true.

Several years ago, my (now deceased) husband lost from around 260 to around 185 and I had lost a significant amount of weight as well. We never measured the length of anything--but I can tell you that as we had gotten fatter, I think we had adjusted and adjusted until we had almost forgotten the way sex was really supposed to feel. Then when we lost weight, it was like..."OMG...look what we were missing..." The physiological mechanics are very different when a huge belly is not acting as a wedge that prevents the object from actually reaching the target.

Yes, and yes. The... mechanics... are... way better.

Oh, btw, there are limits. For someone like me with >100 lbs to lose, no... you don't become a porn star (and the women in my life are thanking me). But what you HAVE becomes more... available, and definitely more USEFUL.

Loved that you said "the women" plural! Sounds like you are doing well with the ladies!

Erm. A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell.

rofl! Keep it 'G' this is a family board!

Yes, yes, shallow and silly. So what?

I can tell you you'll end up with no more than you started with. the difference is that you'll notice it all rather than just what outside the fat pads. I sure your girl with too.
