Just hoping some of the vets that have had plastics read this, I am looking into starting to research plastics, who deal with bariatric patients and maybe give some special consideration to us, I would love some suggestions......

 

thanks

There's a board on oH for Ontario Patients.  It's generally kind of quiet though.

Depending where you are (not sure?) there's different patients that will accept ohip funding for a panni/breast reduction. Those are the only two surgeries covered.

I recently got approval for a panni :) I'm going to upgrade to a tummy tuck though.

I'm in Windsor so I'm going to London to see Dr. Matic.  Are you near Toronto? Dr. Nandagopal (Scarborough) is supposed to be wonderful.

Good luck

Dawn

Thanks alot for the info... How do you get to that forum? When I search plastics Ontario I only get an old thread from 2010?

This may sound like a stupid question but what is the difference between a panni and a tummy tuck?

Panni is removal of apron below belly button. 

Tt includes skin above belly button and muscle tightening

panni is the lower part of your belly

A tummy tuck is done when you have excess skin on the upper part of your belly

Have you done either of the surgeries? Just very curious cause i might look into one of these options. Is it true you must maintain your weight loss for more then a year before they even consider doing any of these procedures to you?
