Lower Belt Lift and Butt Lift - pre op

Hi folks - I had RNY May 2016 and have lost 130lbs - maintained for about 4 months now but hope to lose another 15 by end of November (but if not I'm fine here). I need plastic surgery to fix the mess I've made of my body while being super morbidly obese for so many years. I was shocked when my RNY surgeon suggested a plastic surgeon referral now. I thought I had to wait longer.

Anyway, went and met with Dr. Nandagopaul (Ontario, Canada) and have opted to go with the lower belt lift with a butt fat implant (forget what the actual name is). Surgery is scheduled for November 24th. Aaahhh! I'm excited and nervous - any tips for what I should be doing to prepare? What can I expect? I can't imagine having a flat stomach!!! Next (not sure when) will be arms (buh bye bat wings) and breast augmentation.

Thanks in advance!

Also wanted to add - he said the anesthesiologist may do a spinal anesthesia - anyone had or heard of this? And only one drain :)

Thanks again

I'm scheduled for a LBL and breast on 11/1 and arms and inner thighs on 12/29.

I'm also very excited and can't imagine having a flat stomach either!

Hi Nikki. I am excited for you. I am from Ontario as welland wonder if OHIP will cover the cost of your surgery. I had my RNY April 2016 and lost over 100lbs. I am contemplating plastic surgery but I am scare of the cost.

Thanks. Ivana
