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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
