Well I think a lot of WLS patients have multiple plastics procedures at different parts of their journey. Personally, I have a lot of loose skin and hope I can get surgery, but not until I am at or closer to goal.

Well if it really is that bad that's it's making it so you can't do the things you want, and you know that you might have to do it again?

Then you should be ok doing it! I would think the surgeon would of said no if he thought it was a bad idea..

I am not sure if all insurance companies cover this but a lot of them cover plastic surgery for removing extra stomach skin, due to the health risk it has. My surgeon's office help you through the the insurance paperwork. Something to look into, if you haven't already.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
