Visible Port Bump After Tummy Tuck?
fire girl replied to xavier's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
That is exactly the question that I have.....I have an appointment with the PS at the end of the month. My port is my major question/concern.....I don't want to pay 7k and have a golf ball sticking out on my flat tummy. I guess the people that have had tummy tucks should be able to help with this information.... -
You look great!!!! I have a question.....Did they have to relocate your port? Can you still feel it (port) ? Can you see it (port)?

Foam/bubbles = high protien.......

After I reached 6cc's - each time I would lose ten pounds I had to have 1 cc taken out because I was too tight....I know - that is a little backwards but that is how it worked wth me too.
-
Don't worry you will get back on track. I have only lost 3 pounds in 7 weeks. Of course I had two sugeries (band slipped) and haven't been able to do any exercise except walk. You will feel better when you get back on track .....you know just how to do it!!!

Don't get totally discouraged....I was in my 9th month and my band slipped. I too had a total obstruction. I ate a piece of meat - it wouldn't go down or wouldn't come up. My surgeon did emergency surgery - I thought I might lose my band but he "unhooked" it and left it in place then he went back in about 10 days later and "rehooked" it. Yes I had to have two more surgeries and start all over with liquids, etc. but I still have my band!! I am down 65 pounds and only have about 10-15 pounds to go before I reach my goal.....Wait to Worry!!! whatever it is it can probably be fixed.....it will set you back a bit but you are stong enough to overcome any obstacle that you might have to endure!! Hang tough!

Surgeon Fills Band during Surgery
fire girl replied to cb9094's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor put 2cc in when he installed the band. -
I had the first surgery on September 9, he "unhooked" the band and left it there. Then on September 21, I had the second surgery he went back in and "rehooked" it. I just had a follow up yesterday and he told me I could walk as much as I wanted but no running until at least four weeks out. No weightlifting either until four weeks. I still have about 15-20 pounds to lose....I have only lost one pound since Sept. 9th....that is killing me.....LOL. I agree - I don't want to go thru that ever again!! Have fun at your mini reunion.

Hey there....Doc told me to wait until my appt. on Nov. 1st. They had to do alot of removal of scar tissue and such...so I guess he wants me to take it easy. I was in surgery for 4.5 hours for my slipped band, so I'm going to do exactly as he says...lol...I don't wanna go through that again. I did however get the ok to walk upto 5 miles a day. We are on our way

I was told that I could play golf two weeks post op. Run and lift weights at four weeks. Hold off on ab work until six weeks. And at anytime if something hurts - stop doing it.
-
Hey question - when did your doctor tell you that you could start running again? Mine told me to walk for four weeks then I could run and lift weights. It will be so much fun to show off the "new you" to your old GF's - I am sure they will still recognize you....but their jaw may need to be lifted up off of the floor...LOL
-
Has your doctor released you for full exercise yet? Mine told me all I could do right now was walk. - "killing me"
