I have been noticing post-op TT pictures where the girly parts appeared to be pulled forward....really freaky! I have a consult with a local plastics guy on Friday and that question is on my list! So glad you mentioned it, thought it was just me...I kept thinking maybe that is what it looks like with no belly skin hanging down over it?! LOL

Hoosiergirl, can you show me examples of this? i haven't seen those photos. What I see is that the incision line is low so it keeps that overhanging tummy from becoming your "mons" area.

I haven't had that problem. My incision is really low so the hair does come up to the incision line. But I don't think that my mons area looks stretched. Of course I had not seen it in so long, I am just assuming that this is what it is supposed to look like. Lmao

Here is an example I found on Real Self - there have been many others http://www.realself.com/photo/582153?offset=22&topic_id=553

I cannot determine if this is what it should look like because mine is well hidden by hanging skin! Lol

My incision is right at my hair line. It did pull my girl parts and I love it! It doesn't look funny or wrong it looks normal. Not saggy any more. I really didn't expect for that to happen so it's a bonus!

Although I have hanging down lower abdomen and cannot clearly "see" what is below, when I lift the hanging skin and pull, my parts do come forward and I don't want that. Maybe it stretches back over time? Really interested to see what my plastics consult reveals on the topic. Will be sure to post what I learn on Friday....

Just back from my first consult with a plastic surgeon. Here is what she said when I asked her about the lady parts being pulled forward.

She said that sometimes surgeons take too much skin and then they have to pull the lady parts way forward to close the gap. She also said that when it's pulled that tight and that far forward, it creates a couple problems. The urine will flow forward instead of down. Also when everything is that tight it can cause problems with intercourse.

She said you want the muscles tightened, not the skin pulled that tight.

      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!!
