Kegels are SO important.

My bladder prolapsed last year.

If I had done more kegels through the years, I might have avoided this. Now all I can do is do em and try and strengthen my pelvic floor so that the bladder will not drop lower and it might even go back up a bit

I know this an old post but.....my mom had lapband and she warned me that the fat my vajayjay has accumulated will not go away! I've decided as I lose weight to use creams to make me sweat in target areas. Areas like my tummy, arms, back fat, thighs, chin, and vajayjay! It might only make a little bit of a difference but the creams make me sweat 3x as much so I'm hoping it helps. Good luck ladies and I am newly banded and would love a banded buddy!!!!!!

It doesn't work that way. You can't lose fat where you choose to lose it. Losing fat means that it's lost all over. Some spots may be more reluctant, so the fat will melt at a slower rate. Don't waste your money or time with creams that make promises. At best, you'll walk into an old wives' tale. At worst, you'll be a sucker for fraud. Beside that, who wants a sweaty crotch?

Women who discuss this all report sagging "down there." If your mother had a different experience, it may be that she didn't lose as much weight as others.

@ "wlsresources/clothingexch" it's a cream I use when working out. You're right it may do absolutely nothing but it may sweat off an inch or two. And I definitely shower after workouts so no sweaty crotch for the day. My mom did not experience sagging, just what she feels is literally a fat public area. They actually have pubic liposuction which will get rid of it. JS

Yes, you did say "cream' earlier. I repeat, it doesn't work that way, but if you really are fond of the idea, have at it. I've done my work.

I think we are getting a little confused about which part of the female anatomy she's discussing. My comment was strictly about the fatty area called the mons. I was not aware that the labias minora and majora carried weight?? I'll have to ask if my husband if he noticed they've shrunk??

I definitely have fat on my labia majora. They are quite plump. I'm hoping to lose some weight down their so my pants fit better. Just say no to camel toe!

      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!!
