Hi there. I will be having the sleeve in April 2012. I am very excited and appreciative of all I have learned on this forum. Anyone out there ever have liposuction? I had it in 2002 when I was just "overweight." It was great and I don't regret having it. But since then I have steadily gained 50lbs and now have intra-abdominal fat. I assume this is because there was no where else to gain the weight because the "outer" fat in my abdominal and flank areas had been removed.
Does previous liposuction affect the sleeve surgery? And what about excess intra-abdominal fat?
Thanks for any advice/thoughts you can offer. I won't be seeing my surgeon until after the new year.
