Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I too was not all that keen on having plastic surgery after having had the RNY, then revision then two heart procedures, blah, blah, blah. But after 2 1/2 years, the pain being caused by the hanging skin in the abdominal area finally got the best of me and had the tummy tuck done last April. Virtually no pain. Very sore, but can't say that I was in any pain. Two weeks post op I developed a necrotic fat mass on the left hip bone. Though not rare, does not happen on a regular basis from what I was told. That was exceedingly painful and was on antibiotics and painkillers for two weeks. After that, right as rain and my back pain was gone and I could tuck in a shirt and wear a belt and see my feet. Very glad I did it. As for the boobs, I'm tuckered out from all the surgeries and though the procedure is covered, I can't even think about it. Maybe when they finally hit my knee caps I'll do something about them. Until then, I just invest in really good bras. Bottom line, you'll know when it's the right time to have plastic surgery. It's not for everyone and you may never be ready for it. There is no law saying you have to. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 I have a question. I am constantly having UTI's and kidney infections. Do you think this might be because of the extra skin I have in the pelvic area (aka...I have a lot of skin where my BUTT used to be). I have loose stools......and try desperately to keep myself clean. Moist toweletts are my friend at home, but sometimes I get stuck out in public and even though I practically wipe away the skin (sorry for the discriptions..... :-(( ) I find it just doesn't do the job at times and it seems that this is when I get the infections. I guess this is something I need to address with my Family Practice doc, but just want your input. NOT that this new doc will listen.
