Well I think a lot of WLS patients have multiple plastics procedures at different parts of their journey. Personally, I have a lot of loose skin and hope I can get surgery, but not until I am at or closer to goal.

Well if it really is that bad that's it's making it so you can't do the things you want, and you know that you might have to do it again?

Then you should be ok doing it! I would think the surgeon would of said no if he thought it was a bad idea..

I am not sure if all insurance companies cover this but a lot of them cover plastic surgery for removing extra stomach skin, due to the health risk it has. My surgeon's office help you through the the insurance paperwork. Something to look into, if you haven't already.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
