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 !

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
