Should I postpone my surgery of panniculectomy and abdominoplasty?

July 19, 2015
Asked By:mtd3 in Hanover, PA

Should I postpone or continue? I've gained weight 15#...due to some RA and iron deficiency anemia issues... My RA is now under control and the pain and my anemia. I was told I'd still have a good result...it's not like I'm going to try to lose 50 pounds after sutgery. I just want to drop that extra 15 pounds. Should I postpone? I have lost 170# after gastric bypass 5 years ago.

Jose Perez-Gurri, MD, FACS says:

Hi. There are surgeons who prefer to use absorbable sutures such as Insorb. They are suppose to be absorbed within months but at times the patient reacts in such a way that they start to reject the staples and they rise to the surface. This is what it looks like in your case. Please always...
