This is totally disgusting and something that I have never asked anyone in my life. I am 27 yrs old and over 300 lbs. My husband was only with two other women b4 me and each only once, so he doesn't have much comparison (not that I would dare ask). I am having lapband next month (hopfully), and expect to lose lots and lots of weight! My vagina is very fatty (gross I know), especially right above it. I can't even beleive that I am telling all of you this. I want to know if any of you had this problem before the surgery and did it shrink with the rest of your body. You can't exactly exercise that body part now can you. If any of you have had this problem please tell me so I can quit feeling so weird.

Thanks

So we went from FUPA----Fatty Upper Pubic Area to PCOS!!! :thumbup:

On a serious note- it's great that someone can ask questions like this and get help.

Great board!

See I thought it couldn't hurt, I mean all it would take is a blood test and they were already testing my blood to make sure my thyroid meds were working. And since I already have hypothyroidism, I've gained weight like crazy and can't get it off, mood swings like you wouldnt believe including severe depression, hairyness(quite an embarassing symptom to bring up to a doc) and acne since I hit puberty(at age 8 yay!)....I'm just so confused about why my doc would down and out ignore me.

I went to my school doc to get acne meds and I asked about Spirolactone...and I read reviews and a lot of the people that take it say:

1. Their hair and face are less greasy.

2. Excess hair growth stops or slows down

3. Perfectly clear skin

4. Mood swings are diminished.

Well I asked my doc this, especially because he gave me antibiotics and I don't want to build a resistance as well as mess with my birth control and it can cause a lot of stomach problems that I really don't want to mess with after having lap band. He wouldn't let me. And this is after I said I wasn't comfortable taking the antibiotics...he basically just said to take them and forget about it.

And my regular doc is the one that said that my problems probably weren't hormonal even after I asked if we could check it out just to rule it out as a possibility.

Maybe I need a female doctor.....Damn men.
