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.

      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.

      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!!
