One important thing, be sure the doc you are using has had LOTS of
gastric bypass patients. I thought my doc was well known in town,
come to find out i didnt check him out enough. I felt like he didnt
take good enough care of me, did a horrible job on my thighs... my
breasts i told him to make a full b to a small c, he made barely an
A. And my tummy he did pretty well,but there was a few things i wish
he would have warned me about... this is kind of a personal thing,
but i wish SOMEONE would have told me, so i will tell you guys...
When they do the tummy tuck, my doc took from my belly button down
to right above my pubic area. So the area above my belly button if i
eat too much, looks a bit chubby, its wierd, its like a bubble after
meals, which i hate that...its goes flat when i am not eating. now
here comes the personal part. Needless to say when i was 301 pounds,
i had weight gain appartnly everywhere, including the pubic area.
Well when they took all that extra skin off my thighs and tummy and
boobs it was great, however, i got this EXTRA skin in that area
which looks really wierd. IT's kind of hard to explain, and you dont
beelive it till ya see it, but its almost like having an extra large
mound with a litte body i that makes sense. It is the pits, and now
that all the surgery is done, its too late for me to have anything
done about it. Had I realised this would be an issue, i would have
disucssed it before the surgery and found out my options. My ins
only paid for the tummy, so i had to pay for the breasts and thighs,
but we did all three on the same day, 6 horus with 2 surgeons, it
was a long day with alot of surgery. but it saved me alot of money.
I only paid 5 grand for my part. well if anyone has any questions on
the plastic surgery, let me know. It was harder than i thought and
the recooperation was longer than i expected, but i have to admit, i
look pretty good at least with my clothes on lOl i look like
frankenstiens bride neked with all my scars!!!! :)
