The Boys have dropped!



Recommended Posts

:unsure: Well, the boys have dropped. They just hang there really low...so low...(here's the embarrasing part)...that they get wet when sitting on the pot! How aggravating! I have to hold em up to do the business! Has anyone else had this issue? My wifey also complains of them sagging when we are "passing a good time"! :( Is this common to weight loss guys? Or is it just me?

Yikes! I mean mine are more visible because of not being surrounded by a pad of fat but don't hang that low. Silly question, I know, are you sure that they haven't always been that way and are not just lower because of not sitting on so much fat in your behind and like me are just more visible because of the fat pad disappearing?

I don't remember much about the anatomy of that area but seem to recall there was a tendon that supported 'em, I can't picture that "loosening up" unless maybe the attachment to any supporting muscles has dropped. Perhaps a visit to a wee-wee doctor would be in order?

Is this a medical or an aesthetic issue?

As for the aesthetic aspect, I can say - as a woman - that this is the last thing we care about. You could have them touching your feet and I wouldn't mind!

Function is fine, so I don't think its a medical issue. I'll check with Doc when I go back for a visit. Nice to hear a woman's point of view that you wouldn't mind it! B) Where do you live? lol!:)

Yeah, maybe Estella's right, unless you tripping on them don't worry. :blink::lol:

Hate to be a downer, but ... how old are ya? Unfortunately, gravity takes its toll on us guys just like it does for the gals. It's just that for guys, it's OTHER things that sag with time.

And post-weight loss, sometimes "the boys" get bigger (has to do with higher levels of protoandrogens due to reduced fat), which unfortunately... can make them hang lower (although that's not usually too noticeable; it's more likely just gravity).

Could be just old age. My daughter tells a story a stroke victim was assited to the toilet. Everytime he was placed on the toilet he would moan. The staff could not figure out what was wrong. Then one of them figured out the jewels were hanging in the cold Water each time he sat down.

Do not know the fix.

low dangles aren't just for former fat men, I was with a man who was naturally very lean and he had a surprisingly baggy and lengthy sac, and he's not old. Yes, Breast-ees and testes have much in common. =D

I can assure you I've never even noticed that aspect of a guy (how far down the jewels hang).

God, I hope that doesn't happen to me, I have a hard enough time riding in my bass boat without experiencing "the crusher" at least once an outing.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
