Men having "plastics"



Recommended Posts

Any guys having plastics?

I am still preop but I know from previous weight loses I look like a empty sack of potatoes when I am down. My clothes do not fit right, and exercising is annoying and embarrassing. Feels like i am still flapping and jiggling unless I wear a tight undershirt.

Anybody's insurance pay for procedures around the abdomen? I really don't care about scarring. I take pride in all my scars.

How bad did it hurt?

Any other alternative than plastics?

Thanks

A girl I work with told me our insurance will pay for Tummy Tuck if doctor documents chafing or other issues due to excess skin. I think it doesn't matter if you are male or female, if the excess skin bothers you, get it fixed. Guess you'l have to watch your weight loss and see if you bounce back into shape ok and even need it. I've lost 76 lbs and though I'm certainly not perfect, I'm not as bad as I thought I would be and won't consider surgery. Until then, find some workout clothes that will help control it so you aren't self concious.

If you do a search for the member, ButterTheBean, you will find a bevy of threads relating to his plastics. He doesn't visit here often as he has moved on, but you can read all about him.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
