Thank u so much for the pre and post information and thanks for caring sending u my love. And u were right plastics pain is no baby! I'm done with plastics thanks my barbie I will just have to settle for being a cabbage patch lol

He said he didn't put drains in cause they werte hard to take care of. I don't think it was a sermoa its from not having the drains I'm filled up again I have to go monday to get drained.when I had my lipomas taken out had to go every week to get drained. I wish he did do the drains the fluid keeps building up fast thanks. My PS works with my Wls doc and my wl doctor did give me a drain for the hernia removal

There's nothing "big baby" about plastic surgery. That stuff HURTS! The swelling HURTS! It hurts to move, cough, even to breath. The drains seem to be placed in just the perfect position to catch on everything and tugging them HURTS!

Looking at the wounds is downright scary. Wondering if the stiches are going to pull out and the skin's going to open up (or in my case, fall down like a pair of pants that the elastic broke). Praying you heal without any infections, seromas or other complications.

I think plastics was a whole lot harder than the bypass. It sure hurt a lot more. You go ahead and be a "big baby".

Thank u very much I can be a big baby sometimes

Thank u I been waitn on u when I stand up the swelling goes right to the end of my thighs near my knee caps is that normal? It is awful tryna keep the bandages on. I bought a girdle yesterday its not quite long enough I'm going to ask for his compresson garment tomorrow. Thank u

I have champ va my husband is military disabled. They told me the same thing for my bypass surgery. I did not pay a penny for it I did paper work in Aug had surgery sept.

Thank u so much that helps a lot I will keep doing research I will let u know

hi, i was looking through the threads today about maintenance and the PS after weight loss you name came up alot. LOL anyway I was wondering if you had in recent pictures of you lower body lift now some time later? I saw the 11 days out. As I near the time of considering options I was curious. Thanks.

Barb- i just saw a more recent pic of you up top, YOU LOOK GREAT. i havent really been on in a while but I'm just catching up. I hope all is well.

I think plastic are more worrisome than the WLS itself. I already sag and know that I will need them. I am pretty sure I won't be able to accept excess skin by the pounds. You are an inspiration...
