Topic: RE: Panniculectomy recovery advice

Thanks! I was thinking about nutrition. My appetite lately has been kinda low so I know I am most likely not getting in all my macros. I'll start getting in the habit now of watching my numbers to make sure I get as much as my body needs before "show time".

Topic: Dr Sauceda in Las Vegas Aug 3rd and 4th

Dr Sauceda is coming to Las Vegas! Aug 3rd & 4th. I'm starting to set appointments for consults.

Send me a PM with your name, address, phone, email and if you are planning on attending the Friday night patient reunion dinner (hopefully Famous Dave's BBQ).

Consults will be at WorldMarkTheClub in my condo. The address is 8601 S Las Vegas Blvd. It's about 4 miles south of the strip.

There should be several postops there for you to check out "Body by Sauceda", with the different surgeries.

Topic: RE: Closing the abdomen after a TT or LBL?

board certifications are more important than facility. Mine was a private clinic, which was recommended by a nurse i know because it was a private clinic and the care was top notch. I had the clinic to myself for recovery and two nurses.

My doctor gave up his hospital privileges to focus on his own practice. he has his own OR. no need to work out of hospitals any more.

I am certainly leaning that way too. If we strain my wife's back trying to get me out of bed or a chair, then we certainly will be in deep doo-doo!

Thanks Kelly! I'll add in another protein shake and refocus on more dense protein snacks. Gotta keep my body healing!

Topic: RE: Closing the abdomen after a TT or LBL?

i rented a recliner and would do it again. gives you independence. I slept in the living room and my mom took the couch...but after the first two days she moved to the spare bedroom because with the lift chair i could get up by myself and didn't need to wake her every 4 hours throughout the night for help, going to the bathroom or a lap around the house. I needed to move frequently because I had the lbl and auto augment on the butt, didn't want to be sitting or lying on it for too long.

I talked to the surgeon again and he said that he plans to put in 1 drain for 10 days even with the quilting. He like to be sure to prevent seromas.

I am pretty sure mine was quilt stitched and I still ended up with just 1 drain for 1 week. Swelling is brutal and I still have a man crotch 4 weeks later, so grateful for the drain time I did have.
