Does such surgery costs much?

Hey there

What is a LBL & what does it intale?

Hello everyone!

It has been sometime since I posted on this website. I had Gastric Bypass Roux-En-Y in January 2017. I have lost 130 pounds and have maintained the weight loss for the last 31/2 years. I look and feel great! The gastric bypass bypass was life-changing for me.

I have had a consult with a plastic surgeon. He put in all the paperwork for the panniculectomy. Ultimately, I?m going to have a complete abdominalplasty. Pay the difference. The problem is OHIP initially denied the authorization to cover cost. My panni hangs half over my mons pubis (mons Venus). I hated how it sits in my lap while on the toilet. I have had rash/excoriation & odour. I have purchased just about every over the counter sprays and powders to keep the area clean. Without too much success. I wear compression panties to hold it in but that is ultimately causing irritable bowel from the intestinal compression.

I can?t wait to look down and see my Mons Pubis TMI

I have gone back to see the surgeon.

HE ENCOURAGED APPEAL!

COVID HAPPENED

I submitted a very well written appeal letter. Submitted a letter from my general practitioner and a letter from the weight management clinic that initially referred me to the plastic surgeon.
Great news!! I finally got approval. I upgraded to a full abdominalplasty. I am paying for half. I am very excited and can?t wait. My surgery is in 3 weeks, February 19th. 2021. I am a little bit anxious as I am a widow. Two of my sons are away at school. Just me and my 14-year-old at home now.

Looking for advice. The dos and don?ts before and after tummy tuck... Looking for recommendations that helps you through the process. What did you do and would do differently? If you were to do it again? What would you do differently?
Hoping everything goes well.

I have done quite a bit of research online. Just looking for additional feedback.

Thank you

Sincerely

So sorry, just now seeing this post, which I realize it may be too late for you specifically - I hope your surgery went well! Wishing you the best recovery.

My surgeries were all done at the same time, I'm actually not exactly sure how long it took - many hours- but I was by myself in Mexico getting it done by Dr. Sauceda (a true body work genius). I would totally do it all over again, even being by myself, their after care was excellent by the doctor and his private nurse. It was definitely hard at the beginning of course- I have a low pain tolerance and once I was out of the hospital (after two days) the pain was more manageable because I kept myself on schedule for pain meds for the first week or so and that helped a lot. I had a few stitches spitting after I got home, and a bit of constipation (sorry TMI)- but other than that my recovery went really well once the pain was manageable.

I'd say I was walking around (carefully and slowly) to get food and supplies within about 4 days. Each day the nurse would help me change bandages and the doctor would check on me in person at the hotel (for 12 days) - something like that NEVER happens in the US (that I'm aware of).

I'd love to go back to get my thighs and chin done, but I'm so happy with my results I'm not sure that I will- maybe one day.

Hi there!
I found your post on a google search because I just had a thigh lift done and both sides have opened on the groin area. Did you use the medihoney patches on it?
my doctor told me to use silvasorb but I don't see any results from that.

Thank You ??
