another opinion
I am almost in tears as I write this. Today was supposed to be the day I joined the flat side. Since I have a 7" diagonal gall bladder scar, my doc feels I should lose 10 pounds before he makes any decision for my surgery. I scheduled a second opinion tomorrow morning, just for the heck of it. I've not heard good things about this second doctor but I am eager to hear what he has to say. Will he "take my money and run" or will he have my best interests at heart? Going to be interesting! My gut tells me to stick with my original doctor. 10 pounds is hard to lose!
no surgery for me... at least not now
Sorry to say surgery has been postponed. BIG miscommunication with the clinic and me. The pre op appointment I had yesterday really should have happened a month ago. When the doc said Exilis would not give me the results I wanted and I'd need a tummy tuck, I said OK and scheduled the date. NOTHING was said about another appointment, just a pre op one. Yesterday I find out that my gall bladder scar can cause some issues with pulling the upper skin down. He said he'd do the TT but I'd only be happy for a couple of months. His recommendation is for me to lose 10 pounds, then POSSIBLY have lipo done in the upper area (although if I lose the 10 I might not need it, that's the hope) and then re consider the tummy tuck. I totally blame the clinic for dropping the ball on this one. I do credit the doc for telling me this and not going ahead with the surgery and just taking my $$. Needless to say, I walked out of the office in tears. Although the decision is totally up to me (we could try lipo without my trying to lose weight) but he doesn't think that would give optimal results. Cannot do lipo and TT at same time because of the problems old gall bladder scar could cause. If I am going to spend mega dollars, I figure I should take his advice and go the weight loss route first, to get maximum results. Lots of emotions right now... wish me luck!
wrong spot!
I think I got started in the wrong spot on RS! This isn't a review.. yet. Should I be moving my info to a different spot? Doc said he gives me a binder for 2 weeks then has me buy Spanx. Any suggestions for what kind of spanx? Nurse said it depends on the person.. not sure what you all liked or didn't? Did you buy bigger size or what you'd normally wear?
