Anyone have previous horizontal stoma*****ision???

I had 4 previous "open" abdominal surgeries.  My RNY was done lap.  I also had 3 large pregancies with stretch marks and lost and regained over 100# 30 years ago with more stretch marks.

I had fleur de lis tummy tuck with massive muscle resculpting.  Incision went from mid Left hip around pelvis to mid Right hip and then vertically from pubic area to just between boobs.  I lost all previous scars from open surgeries, but still have stretch marks above mons.

I did have tissue necrosis (lack of blood flow) where vertical and horizontal incisions meet above mons area.  You can click on my avitar or name to see progress of healing of the open wound fron debridement of necrosis.

I also had brachioplasty done at the same time.

There is also greater chance of circulation problems if you are now (or ever have been) a smoker.  I have never smoked.  It just happened.  I am in good shape, at goal, nutritionally good and labs are great.  I upped protein to 130 gm one month before plastics and have kept it there to maximize healing.

You can PM me if  you have more questions or any way I can help.  I did go to a plastic surgeon who specializes in body sculpting after massive weight loss.  Hope this helps.
