Almost 1 year post op -- Pain on Left side????

Hi, guys - I'm almost 1 year post op for roux-en-y. This past week I have started to have alot of pain after I eat or drink on my left side. It doesn't matter how much I eat or drink - even 4 ozs of water - and I'm hurting. I went to my regular DR. and she checked blood everything was fine except very high white blood cell count. Anyone have any ideas???? Also, looking for a great and I mean great plastic surgeon to do tummy tuck and bat wings.

Thanks
Lisa

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. I don't have an answer for you there.

I had tummy tuck with Dr Oschwald. I'm absolutely thrilled with my results. Pics on profile.

My plastic surgeon has said that he can take off about 4 inches from side to side if he does the cut like yours. I am not sure if it is worth it for the scar coming up so high. What would you suggest?

Thanks!

For me the vertical scar was definitely worth it. I carried alot of weight in my upper and lower belly. I didn't think I could get the waist definition without the anchor cut.

My horizontal scar is fading nicely; the vertical scar is still red. But I will take the red scar. It should still fade.

A plastic surgeon came to our support group and showed before and after TT pics without the anchor cut and the same patient in a later procedure with the anchor cut. The vertical incision gave a nice wasitline.  You can always get an opinion from another surgeon.
