Hi everyone,

I had a consult with a plastic surgeon regarding having a panniculectomy.

I noticed the dates in this forum are outdated.

Has anyone had one recently? How was recover?

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever had a fluoroscopy? I had one today with barium. The barium didn't move through quickly, they had to manipulate it down.

I have pain in my stomach today. The worst is I won't get results until next week.

Lisa

Hi everyone,

I've been gone for a while but now I am back.

I had to have a conversion due to severe GERD. (And a weight gain of 30 pounds).

6 months post op, down 70 pounds.  Feeling good.

It just seems to be coming off very slowly now.

I am five months post op and down 65 pounds.

3 more pounds to my doctor's goal weight for me.  Although, I want to lose another 20 after that.

Love being able to go shopping and enjoy it.

9 weeks post op and finally starting to feel good.

I thought it would never happen.  It was a tough road for me and hopefully the worst is over.

I still can only eat about 2-3 ounces 3 times a day, but it seems to be working.

I am 6 weeks post op.  Still not feeling great.  Exhausted.  No energy.  

I spoke to someone I work with that had the lap band.  She is two years post op and still doesn't feel great.

 

When will I begin to feel good?

Hi,

Has anyone experienced being very emotional?

I feel like a train wreck. On the verge of tears constantly.


LisaKelley posted a discussion topic 8 years, 5 months ago

Now I am on soft foods.

was able to have 1 oz of chicken tonight, 5 peas, 1 tablespoon of broccoli and 1/4 tsp of mashed potato.

all mushed in 1/4 tsp of gravy.

I felt like I was eating like a queen.

My surgery is set for Monday.  Lucky me, someone cancelled.  Was originally scheduled for October 14th.

Excited and nervous all at the same time.

I had my ultrasound.  They found something on my liver.  My PCP ordered an MRI and I have a tumor on my liver.

Will this hinder my surgery.  I had these tests where I work which partners with the hospital I would have surgery.
