Dr. Ronnie Borsuk

Ottawa

Operates out of Winchester Hospital

He did an amazing job.

Hey

Thank you for your reply.

I can't blame the doctor. The MAN that reviewed my application just simply denied it.

I met all the criteria!

My letter was extraordinary & I presented a compelling story. Supported with letter from the weight management centre & my GP.

Thank God he said yes! He just happened to be the head of the department.

I envisioned him working from home sitting in his boxers and a T-shirt reviewing my appeal letter.

perhaps Covid softened him a bit. Not sure but I'm relieved.

Thanks again

Hello

Thanks for replying!

Removal of excess inner thigh is on my bucket list.

WI**** was covered by OHIP.

I don't understand why it's so hard to fight for surgery.. they would cover a sex change operation but not reward a person that was formally obese with the removal of excess skin.

Frustrating

Thank you for your message!

Did you have surgery? We're you pleased with results?

Feeling a bit nervous!

I can't wait.

Thanks for the healing vibes!

Hello everyone!

I am posting in multiple forums.

It has been sometime since I posted on this website. Busy with life & then COVID.

I had Gastric Bypass Roux-En-Y in January 2017. I have lost 130 pounds and have maintained the weight loss for the last 3 1/2 years. I look and feel great! The gastric bypass bypass was life-changing for me.

I have had a consult with a plastic surgeon in 2019. He put in all the paperwork for the panniculectomy. Ultimately. 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. Lol TMI Sorry

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. How did you feel when you woke up from the anesthesia?

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

I found so much support before, during & after ROUX-En-Y.

Wondering how everyone is doing?

Thank you

Sincerely

Desktop computer does not give you the option anymore...

I would definitely definitely go with the RNY.

I had quite severe reflux pre RNY and the reflux was gone right after my surgery.

You can not take any NSAIDs, no carbonated drinks, no caffiene, no pop...

RNY is definitely worth it....

Prednisone is a steroidal anti inflammatory.

You will have to ask if that is okay....

You will be amazed how great you feel once the surgery is over....

I say take a chance and jump in with both feet....

Thank you!

Hi I had ankle surgery last November and got a call to book my RNY 2 weeks after my ankle surgery. I did not want to have (2) major surgeries back to back and they allowed me to choose a date. I chose January 4th. I would suggest booking your vacation and booking your surgery date for when you are back.

I am 9 months out & I like the Original Premier Protein shakes.

Ready to go and convenient.

I still have one every morning with my vitamins.

Sometimes more so when I am travelling and don't have great food choice options at the On Routes or truck stops.

Had to be very cold....

I have not had success with the protein powders and find there are way more calories once you start adding fruit.

Dense proteins remain the best option but my Premier Protein is a great on the go option.
