Re: why do i have to loose weight??????

[Guest guest]

I have heard that some surgeons and/or insurance companies require this; but not

90 lbs. Ive read that 10% weight loss is required if a patient has a fatty

liver and is difficult to move out of the way (for LAP RNY). Ive also read

where surgeons/insurance wants to see a small loss to indicate you are indeed

serious about the surgery. But 90 lbs??? Geez, If I could lose 90 lbs on my

own, I wouldnt need surgery!

> I had the gastric bypass 3/4/03. I've only lost 90 lbs. but look

great. It's been easy. I've never vomit.. never had the dumping

symdrome and I eat anything and everything... but I only eat very

small amount of food. 5 to 6 ounces...

My question was.... My belly is hanging all the way down to the

middle of my thighs. It is call PNICULUS... and I have hernias all

over my belly. I'm trying to know or find out who had plastic

surgery with the same condition I have... Specially if you are in

the Miami area and if you know Dr. Marshall. I've been already to 3

plastic surgeons. all of them concured.
