RE: Confused about panni instructions

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine recently had an abdominoplasty (she is not a wls

patient) and was told by her plastic surgeon that a week prior to

surgery stop all the herbal supplements and vitamin E and he also told

her to stop the protein but increase her iron and gave her Senokot to

take due to increased iron. I told her to up her protein before the

surgery and her surgeon told her specifically to stop all unecessary

protein consumption.

She had her surgery before Thanksgiving and is still having, though

minor, problems with healing. Her belly button is all red and her scars

are still scabs. I've seen quite a few people have this surgery and

after a month and a half looked great. Told her to start using more

protein and take her vitamins. She is far enough away from surgery to do

this and he is still telling her she doesn't need the extra protein. To

each his own I guess.

Personally, I found that since the wls all subsequent surgeries I've had

have gone much better, I'm sure because of the weight that was gone off

my body, but also consuming much protein prior to the procedures I

really feel this has helped immensely. Check with your doctor about

this.
