Liposuction of stomach with port??



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I'm looking into getting Lipo of several areas, my stomach included. I have a consult next Thursday with the PS, but was wondering if anyone has had lipo of the stomach with the band in place? I'm assuming they can work around it.....?? I'd love to hear any lipo experiences out there!

Thanks,

Monica

Hi Monica! I actually had an abdominalplasty with Lipo to stomach, hips, thighs, and knees 4 weeks ago. I also had my port changed at the same time to a nice low profile port :whoo: It is possible and I was VERY lucky that my lap band surgeon was in the OR with my plastic surgeon when she lipoed the upper part of my stomach and then he( lap band surgeon) changed my port. Just to let you know it was a VERY long surgery...I was in the OR for 5 1/2 hours...and it is rather painful :omg: WLS is EASY compared to the plastics!! But I'm VERY happy that I did it :clap2: The total of "fluff" that was lipoed out of me was 7 liters :omg: and 8 lbs of skin was removed from my abdomin and hips. If you have any questions feel free to email me!

I plan on someday having the same surgery. We want to have another baby first.

I wish you the best of recovery, post pictures sometime :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
