When to do PS consult?



Recommended Posts

So I have been far past my goal weight since 9 months post op. I have been at a steady weight for about 3 months now. I am only 13 months post op, and am not planning on having plastic surgery until February or March of next year. My question is when should I start looking into this? When should I start trying to find a surgeon? Should I wait until almost time to book my consults with different surgeons to find the one who suites me ? I feel so lost...

Start now. It might take a while to find someone you want to go with, and it takes a while to get in, then takes a while to schedule. This will give you plenty of time to decide what you want to do.

Thank you Michigan !! I'm going to call a PS my sister and her son used and recommended after the 22nd. She told me she would go with me. I would feel more comfortable with that seeing how she's had plastics from a few Dr.s she can walk me through some things and maybe it won't seem so daunting !

      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! 😞
