Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 hi, my name is heather. i am 6 weeks preggo with my 2nd child. my first is almost 7, so i feel like this is my first again! i had open rouen-y may 2003. i weighed 355 pounds and i am currently at 210. i have stayed at 210 for 3 months now... i recently had an appointment with a plastic surgeon and he said i have 15-20 pounds of skin on my stomach and thighs. although my goal weight is 180, i am not complaining too hard about my stop at 210. 3 days after i found out i was pregnant, i recieved my letter from my insurance, approoving my tummy tuck and thighplasty!! talk about tears... i couldn't be more upset with myself that ever in my life! but i am coping with it. my question is, i had emergency hernia/bowel surgery in march- my surgeon reopened my bypass scar, and patched me up again. i now find myself with another hernia in the upper part of my stomach, near the top of my scar (under by breast bone)... i just want to know if i am going to have to have a c-section? i had a vaginal with my daughter, and can't imagine being cut again... and then again (when i DO get my tummy tuck) i don't have an appointment with my dr, until next week. i was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice? thanks. heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
