Saving Private Ry...



Recommended Posts

Howdy! Long time no post! I've just hit my 2 month surgiversary and am down just shy of 95 pounds! (Still have ALOT to lose though) and loving it so far. I think so have the pouch of superman himself as I have yet to find one food that it doesn' agree with so I'm extra careful in what I'm eating. My lingering question though....I'm trying to save "private Ryan" to be humble as possible lmao and im inquiring to all my fellas if ya'll have had major changes when it came to that aspect. #FightingTheWarOneMonthAtATime

Congrats on your loss!

If you're asking what I think you're asking, there are threads on the subject--does it actually get bigger or does it just appear bigger when the stuff around it has shrunk? At any rate, almost everyone seems to report a better sex life post weight loss--more energy, more flexibility, more interest from partners . . .

And if that's not what you were asking, my apologies!

I am not too sure what you are talking about by Saving Private Ryan since I never saw the movie. As we age and gain weight many men experience Erectile Dysfunction or ED for short. I have this condition and losing weight after surgery did not seem to correct the problem. But then again I am 69 years old and I suspect age has a lot to do with this. But in reading many of the threads on this website, I gather that many men have this condition go into remission as they lose weight after surgery. There is another condition that I experience which drove me crazy that was cause by my obesity. This condition was called an inverted penis. This condition luckily went into remission as I lost weight after surgery.

in case you can’t read, this is the GUYS ROOM forum.

be respectful and GTFO.

Wow. I tend to look at the right side of the page's list of recent topics and click on subjects to read the posts. Most of the time I don't even notice which forum it's in. I can read just fine, thanks, I have a MA in English Literature. I thought I was being respectful: But you sure weren't.

Dude, I wouldn't come in here if I went through the front door to the forums. But since I prefer the back door, there are no warning signs...

To the OP, sorry for barging in here, but I've seen it all. My husband has an 8 incher when he weighs 200lbs, and about -2 inches at 300lbs. (And I don't mean 6 inches, I mean it has retracted into the abdomen, leaving just a little hole visible).

I'm sure you will be quite pleased when the scale starts moving.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
