pain

$8,000
well as you all know I have been going through a little bit with my surgery but I go back to the doctor on Tuesday and my primary care doctor told me that I should ask my surgeon is he would do a revision surgery simply because my surgery was not done like everyone else isI guess because I have scar tissue and right now my stomach is o unn even and I have scar under my stomach but I'm praying that he will agree to it and hopefully if he does then I will be able to have the surgery done again please pray for me and keep me in your thoughts and I would do the same for you

Dr Martin will do my surgery on March 7. I hope you get better soon and my prayers are with you
Really what are u having done? He is an amazing dr I love him and his staff they treat you very well there.. I've been a patient since 2010 I want to say and I couldn't be more happier.. I'm just hoping he will revise my panni
I having a full tummy tuck with lipo.
Wow amazing... sorry to be nosey but did it cost alot?
You're not being nosey this is what the site is for. Everything is 5800 thats with future apts.
Wow that's really good wish I could do it. That's what I wanted but my insurance won't cover a total tummy tuck but even the panniculectomy is close to it if it's done right. .. are you doing it for health reasons or just to tighten your core
Ya my insurance denied me for a panniculectomy so im just paying out of pocket. I had gastric sleeve in 2012 and I have a lot of skin.
Oh ok congrats on the weight loss.. I'm feel I have lost some weight but as far as mine went I'm still having problems so I go see dr. Martin tuesday and see what he thinks can happen. .. I'm praying he will say ok but if not I'll be ok
Ya hopefully because he's really easy to get alone with. He should do it again. Im also on a 30 carb a day diet until surgery.
What kind of foods does that include? I just started juicing a week ago and I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment so I have my exercise and I bake all my meats I really want this weight off I'm Startingto get depressed fast
Im eating veggies, fruit, meat, and no more than one carb in a meal usually dinner.
Did u have ur navel repositioned
No but I am having a revision done soon I pray...
I didn't think so because I noticed that people who have their navel repositioned stomachs are much flatter. Some PS only remove the apron because that's what a panniculectomy is, but some PS will also stretch ur skin down to make it smaller. Will ur revision be done by the same PS.
No I'm going to see a different surgeon. .. she wants me to loose weight but I have do many medical issues I don't think the weight loss is going to happen
Aww dang, well have u thought abt gastric bypass or lapband
I have but I'm scared
Losing weight is a really hard task and sometimes that tool of surgery can help u achieve weight loss. I know a few people that started the process then got scared, I say never let fear keep u bound.
Thank you... I may look into again
Hello , have you had any luck with getting your revision?
Hey lady no not yet I went in to see the dr on the 4th of this month and she only checked my scar I guess she didn't remember it was for my revision.. but I go back in a month for her to make a decision. .. keep praying for me
I will definitely keep praying for you. This time ask the PS do they reposition ur navel because that will give u more benefit with the panni. Good luck
Thank you I'm going to try and loose a little more weight before I see her and go from there I hope they will do it
Ok, keep me posted

I hate that you are still in so much pain and not healing well at 3 months post op. I hope you start feeling better soon. Do they know why you aren't healing good?
Hi loriw78 I went to the dr. Today and he said that because my left side was delayed in healing and I also just found out the reason I'm having so much pain is because I have a stitch coming thru. ... and it is uncomfortable. .. praying for better days to come he said in two months we will meet up again because my left side is still hanging lower than my right side
I pray that within those two months Jesus will touch you and free you from any pain and complete the healing process. He is able!
Thank you for those words
