Hello,

I'm 40 6'4" 425. I have lost 20 the first month! Trying to hit the weight the dr wants me to get too. I have not had my surgery yet. I'm doing this for lots of reasons. I have have a couple of questions for people.

1. Has anyone on here been told there losing to much weight too fast?

2. Anyone regret getting it done?

3. What's the biggest change to happen to you?

4. Anyone have huge personality changes?

5. Any truth to the roomer a guy gets a bigger man hood?

I would like to get back into the dating seen but have not in years due to my size.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Brent!
Good for you for accepting the journey! I have not had surgery yet, I'm due to have mine done on March 16th. I can't really answer some your questions from a personal standpoint (because I'm a female) but I can say- my sister had the surgery done and our family saw a MAJOR improvement in her personality. She's so much more positive and holds conversations better than before, she has so much more self confidence as well. As far as the "man hood" rumor, there are some factual explanations to this (I work in the medical field). I dated a guy where we had no problems in this area and then we broke up, but got back together a year or two later. He had picked up quite a bit of weight in the interim & when the time came he was much smaller than I recalled. I asked one of the physicians I work with about it and it was explained to me that as the additional fatty tissue is added on the male can only erect so far past that. His "man hood" is always the same length, but depending on how much tissue is there only so much can be exposed. So once those fatty layers are gone.....you do the math! :)
Hope I have been of some help & good luck with ur journey!

I'm 3 months out and have not regretted having the surgery at all. My only regrets is that I wish I had done it sooner. I have lost a total of 75 lbs since December 7, 2016. I have my 3 month follow up Wednesday and am looking forward to what the Dr says. My self confidence is higher than it has ever been. Good luck!

I am less than a week out and don't regret it so far. It is going much better than I thought, no problems at all. So I can answer some of your questions.
No regrets, I am a little crabby but time will tell. I have been as heavy as 325 and lost 100 pounds about 20 years ago and yes your​ man hood gets "bigger". It's not that anything gets larger rather the fat at the base of your unit shrinks exposing more of it making it appear larger so you don't bottom out so quickly. I hope I don't get in trouble for saying that.

Congratulations for taking on this journey!!!

I'm 39, 6'2" highest was 492 lbs. I am down to 339lbs. My surgery was on Oct 18, 2016.

Never been told I was losing too much too fast. Told I was right on track.

No regrets. The weight loss is so inspiring and encouraging after years of limited weight loss.

My biggest change has been my commitment to success and focus on me. I plan my meals, I've started cooking again and I'm learning on a regular basis.

No personality changes. I am happier and people tell me I smile more often. I am more into my appearance and I am slower getting dressed. I enjoy wearing clothes again!!!

Manhood is about the rest of you getting smaller, thus you appear larger. Bottom line is more enjoyment.

Make sure that you are doing this for you and not for others.

Stay focused on your goals and the rest will follow. Enjoy the process!! This is life changing and very much about the transformation that many people reference.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
