Q: how can i get rid of a suprapubic fat pad? i'm still kinda young & i'm 5'11 and weigh 216lbs

Weight loss: At 216 pounds, your BMI would be &gt; 30. Your best bet is to start on a sensible, low fat diet ... Your doctor should be able to partner with you and if appropriate provide you with a referral to a nutritionist or some medication to help you reach your goals. New medications such as Qsymia (phentermine and topiramate) have shown to be helpful in some patients. Hope that helps!
