Vajay jay question....?!



Recommended Posts

I was wondering Ladies if you had a fatty deposit above the vajay jay? I believe it's the Mons Pubis.. Did that go down after weight loss? Or is it something ill have to add to the old surgery list?

Thanks

Sheena :-)

So glad someone asked this. Thought I was the only one that worried about it. Would love to see what others have to say.

My friend had a tt after lots of weight loss and her's went down and they addressed that extra skin too... She looks a lot better 'down there', but she does grow some pubic hair on her lower tummy... She's had lazer done, but still has to shave or use a depilatory... It would be worth it to me... Is to her too

I think it would be worth having to wax or shave your tummy if it meant not having that skin/fat above the lady part!

Thanks for answering my question!

It may not shrink down all the way. I have had some PS that included Lipo and it is much better now.

I will totally need plastics as well. I'm still

Pre-sleeve but I need to lose around 130. I carry it in my stomach area.

Have you ever You Tubed a video for Tummy Tuck or body contouring? I watched one last night and it's INTENSE! It's scary, but I think it's sooooo worth it for sure!

Yeah...I have watched them. Totally looks dreadful! However I want nothing more then to get rid of this skin on my tummy! I will be getting a lift and implants for my boobs too since the last 20 pounds I have lost hit my poor boobs bad. I went from a double d down to a very heavily padded d! My husband calls them flap jacks! They look like I had a balloon blown up to its ultimate max...then got popped! My surgeon suggested getting bigger ones then I want...he said he has never had a woman say she wished she got smaller implants....I said I don't want my boobs entering a room five seconds before my body does! Lol I just want them to be full and perky...and my stomach flat. I could probably fit into about 2 sizes smaller in my pants if it weren't for my skin on my tummy! But at least I can see my lady parts again! Lol

Well, I would say it looked way worse after my weight loss. I swear it seemed like I lost weight everywhere except in that area. When I had my Tummy Tuck they did Lipo and lifted that area and the problem was solved. Phew, phew and triple phew.

That's good to know! I plan on having a tummy tuck after I got goal and its good to know they can make it look more 'normal' again.

Yeah, mine is still "enlarged" up near the stomach, but pelvic bones are definately nearer the surface of the skin- I am getting ready for plastics and I need to ask more about expected changes there.

This is a common issue for people who lose alot of weight, but I don't know why.

I have a question, not necessarily vajay jay related, but plastics in general :) I am lucky enough that my insurance will cover my sleeve (hoping for July surgery date) and I'm not sure that I will ever be able to afford plastics. I already worry about the loose skin....I know that this is going to bother me when it happens. I worry that I will still feel as bad about my body as I do now. When you're big, if you're going to get naked in front of someone, they pretty much know what to expect. However, if you're smaller and look good in clothes, they aren't expecting to see a bunch of loose skin when you disrobe. My DH passed away in 2007 and I have not been in a real relationship since then, but I hope to be again one day. If you were unable to have plastics, would you still be okay with yourself?

This, along with my "apron," has not shrunk as much proportionally to the rest of my body. I do notice it feels thinner and the bone is closer to the surface but now since the skin has become deflated I feel like it falls over and hides my vag. My lower stomach has shrunk but not shrunk up. Again, it's just like the same amount of skin but not as filled so that hides my girl parts too. I was so looking forward to seeing her again but she's still pretty much hidden when I stand. I have quite a bit more to lose and I'm not sure if plastics are realistic since I was self-pay for VSG. I know muscle tone helps with saggy skin but I'm not sure if there are many exercises you can do for that part of your body! Someone wanna ask their trainer?! lol

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
