June/July Plastics thread



Recommended Posts

I think that there are several of us who are planning to endure the binder during the hottest months of the year. I think for us PS is not going to stand for Plastic Surgery, but rather for Profuse Sweating! I found that the Feb/Mar and April/May threads were very helpful to someone like me that wanted information from a variety of people without jumping all over. I will probably have my own thread as I get closer, but if you are having your PS this summer come join us!

It's great that someone started this thread. I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck, breast lift w/augmentation and Lipo on June 3. I am getting extremely excited and also a little anxious but more excited than anything.:thumbup:

I am scheduled for LBL on June 19th and I am currently waiting on insurance approval. I went in expecting to pay out of pocket but the PS convinced me to at least try to get insurance to cover some of it. I had brachioplasty in February and was not happy with the reulsts so I switched to a different PS that specializes in massive weight loss patients and I know it's the best decision I ever made. Thanks for starting this thread, I will be sure to keep you all updated on my progress.

Thanks

Eugenia

I did start a thread before this one was started, but I'm having a Tummy Tuck, breast lift with implants and GYN surgery (myomectomy to remove a large fibroid) on June 13.

I can't believe how many of us are having PS over the next few months!!!!

Yep Frangi when I saw your post I realized we kind of needed one place where we could all pose questions. I think for specifics it is good to have your own post, but this is kind of a central meeting ground!

      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.

      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.
