Has anyone gotten the sleeve or bypass after abdominoplasty and Lipo.



Recommended Posts

I know I did this in the wrong order. I had an abdominoplasty and Lipo a couple of yes ago after losing a bunch of weight only to go through a divorce and gain all my weight back.

I am going to a group meeting and my consultation on Monday. I'm curious to know if anyone has done this and what complications could arise. I'm concerned it will cause problems due to fibrous spots and my belly button being rerouted. Am I a lost cause?

I'm not sure if that will necessarily cause problems, but you'll probably be dealing with loose skin again after you lose weight...

I had gallbladder surgery aged 17 in 1976. This was before the days of keyhole. The surgeon was a butcher. Over the years I have had terrible pulling/ripping pains all the way down my internal torso. My bariatric surgeon said he had to free loads of scar tissue to do my sleeve surgery. My sleeve surgery took him 3 hours. I have never had a pulling pain since and I am very grateful. Its been a win win for me

I had a Tummy Tuck years ago and having surgery on March 20th. Neither the surgeon or internal medicine specialist expressed any concerns (though it was pointed out tummy tucks are controversial because they push your fat into your organs)

      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! 😞
