I Had a Tummy Tuck with Lipo of my Inner Thighs and Flanks 12 Days Ago. Is It Normal to Be Extrememly Hungry After Surgery?

In abdominoplasty creates a situation that requires a good deal of caloric energy for healing. Having an appetite in the wake of this is completely expected.

Our experience is patients have a smaller appetite after tummy tuck and muscle repairs. Some feel less hungry after the anesthesia as well. Rather than 'fill up' you should make sure you are taking enough for healing, and push liquids. If appetitie continues to be problem you might take to the nutritional support team that performed and maintains your lap band.

This may be a good question for your weight loss and lap band medical team as most patients seem to have less appetite after tummu tuck surgery.

It is more common to have decreased appetite. A call to your plastic surgeon to review the issue will be best advice. A call also to your weight loss doc might be helpful.

All the best.
