I had the gastric sleeve surgery 3 years ago and once I get to my ideal weight, I would like to have a tummy tuck, breast implants and lift and possibly an arm lift. The only problem is that I can't find a doctor who knows anything about Vonwillebrands or will work with it. Is there an easier option for me? Less invasive surgeries or a way to find someone who specializes in patients with bleeding disorders?

Answer: Vonwillibrands and mommy makeover Since you know and have been diagnosed as having Von willibrands disease, then you have worked with a hematologist and should know what type of von willibrands disease you have.Type 1, type 2 or type 3.all Doctors are very aware of the disease. Since you had a gastric sleeve before, then you probably have a mild form (Type 1). You probably is not a candidate for elective surgery.Any surgery should be done in a major hospital center. A hematologist should be involved in the care and available immediately. The hospital should be made aware and stock on the medications and factor 8 infusion.This is true even for dental surgery.This discussion should be with your hematologist first. Then try to find the medical center and the plastic surgeon willing to operate under these circumstances.

Answer: Surgery with VWD Yes you can have surgery but it requires working closely with your hematologist. There are certain meds that may be required to be administered prior to surgery to put you at low risk prior to surgery and your hematologist will make that decision.
