can anyone tell me ...

Hi ,i went to my surgeon yesterday and he told me that i have to see a plastic surgeon ,i have had so many surgery's that my stomach wall is gone to pots .lol. has anyone been though this ? Brenda ion TX .

Brenda:
 I am not really sure what you mean by 'so many...going to pot....  lol but, I just had panniuculectomy with anchor cut ( and breast lift) on May 8th. I, too had had 2 previous, open, surgeries, one of which left a horrible, puckered scar. My PS did a great job of incorporating both 12" scar (the ugly one) from my gall bladder removal and my 6" scar from RNY into my new 'down the middle scar with new belly button...too cute!. He said it was not easy as he  really had to be careful not to cut thru the re-routed vascular area from the old scars, b/c it could casue tissue death...not a pleasant thought!  But talk to your PS, and i am sure they can do something.
Here sending you good wishes for a great outcome!

thanks for the reply.I  have had 5  opened stomach surgery's .I look like I'm 6 Mo's pregnant . I'm waiting for the call  from appointments for plastics .have a good night .Brenda in TX .

 Hi Darlin - sounds like you need somebody skilled in reconstructing a good strong abdominal wall - which they can do with things like mesh etc.    A reconstructive surgeon is not necessarily the same as a conventional plastic surgeon - you want to find somebody who is well versed in the reconstructive end of things.  Wish I was closer to help ya ......and you look wonderful!  Hope you're feeling good.    Susan

Thanks babe.I'm going to ask lots of question's .i know when i was talking to my surgeon ,he did say that it would be reconstructing the abdominal wall.how  are you ? how are you and your honey doing ? lol. I'm noisy.

 well Happy soon to be surgery Birthday Hun .. well be thinking of ya on your big day ,good luck .
