I think it's a good fear, as long as it is not debilitating. I still fear regain which I believes keeps me under goal at 4 years out. In my not-so-humble opinion, too many people start to believe they're invincible and the weight is "gone forever" that they forget to do the work. Maintenance is MUCH harder than losing.

Thank you. That's a good way to look at it and a good reminder.

I feel that way every day.

Even when I run I imagine that 324 lb woman in my rear view mirror.

Don't know if that ever goes away-not sure I want it to! It keeps me honest.

Thank you, my friend

. Good analogy. My 314 lb self would be chasing me, but she had to stop after half a block and gasp for breath. LOL

Thank you for saying this...really. Sometimes us pre ops feel stupid asking questions because I'm sure you've answered them before. I know I personally look in the search to see if it's already been answered, but even reading it 20 times still need some reassurance. Don't want to point the finger or name names, but there are some people that make you feel below them for asking questions and and when I see it, it makes me think, isn't this forum here for support. If you don't like the question someone has asked then don't read it or comment on it.

Thanks again!!

I know you're joking but for those *****ally want to know....

It will appear to be longer when you lose belly fat.

If you've already lost your excess weight then "no". (sawwry)

but I recently saw a program on T.V. where they cut some muscle above the penis which can make it a few cm's longer!

AND why are guys so obsessed about their penis length?
