Im Approved Surgery date 1/16/12
Wow I’m 7 years post op RNY. Two years ago I had emergency surgery for complete bowl obstruction with adhesions. Now I have a hernia from my belly button to my ribs. I’m in pain and having a partial obstruction. The surgeon recommended a plastic surgeon who agreed to give me a panneculectomy while he the first surgeon repairs and tightens my Ab mussels. I never thought I would get Plastics. I’m getting the upside down T to maximize the amount of excess skin and fat removal. The repair is necessary and needs to be done asap because of my partial obstruction. I am hoping for good results even though I have gained back several pounds for my lowest.
same thing happened to me! OMG, i have a ventral hernia thats sticking out my stomach so my bari surgeon suggested i see a plastic surgeon and he's doing my panni too!!! Im too excited but still waiting on an approval from the insurance although the plastic surgeons office already took my money for co pay and scheduled me for the 17th, i know that sounds crazy before the approval but im praying everthing works out the way we planned. good luck to you! Keep us posted
