Question:
This is kind of a raw question
My husband and I are both planning on having wls, me before him. When I met him, I weighed 211# and he weighed about 260#. Over the past 11 years we have each gained about 60#. Both of us have diabetes and because of this desease, my husband is impotent( he was impotent when I met him). Sex was never a big part of our marriage. We have not been intimate for the better part of a year. My question is, Because I am MO, I have alot of extra fat in the genital area and I know this it will be taken care of either by weighloss or surgery. My husband, on the other hand, how do I say this, is small. I don't know if he is that way because he too is MO or God just made him that way or could it be that he is fatty in that area too. I would never ask him if he was ever bigger when he was smaller. Will he have to have plastic surgery on his private area too? Thanks, Claire — gramof3 (posted on January 13, 2003)

Ok. I had this same concern about my son when he was an infant. I thought
they have messed up his circumcision. Well my son was a rolly polly pudgey
baby. The pediatrician advised that he had a lot of fat down there and it
does affect the size of the penis visually. Now as he grows up and thins
out it is not as obvious. I think you should ask your surgeon about this
but this is what I was told about my son ( I think it would apply to adults
also)

Its the fat. My husband has to find it to use it. When we met 38 years ago
and some 150 lbs each ago, he was very average in size.

I heard once that a man gains 1 inch (down there) for every 25 lbs. he
loses. Boy, if he had alot to lose that could add up
quick!!......lol........lol.....!

I don't know about that last poster's data. I've lost 139 pounds and I
certainly have not added 5 inches. It appears larger than before, but not
5" larger...JR

I always think its better to ask than to be kept in the dark....Now, I
would guess that not having a very strong sexual realationship had to do
with the fact that we big folks are programmed not to think sexually. I am
so lucky that I have found a wonderful man who thinks I am sexy even though
I am big.
Experiment with different positions.. use toys if you want, explore each
other, even if its just to give a loving massage. Size doesn't matter to
me--body or penis!!! Its what you do with it... its how you feel about it.

I have lost 165# and seemed to have gotten larger in the penis ;) I had
hormone inbalance. Have the surgeon check your husbands hormone levels. WLS
will help the diabeates. It is a hinderance to sex good lux
