My plastic surgeon has no way of knowing if I will need another tummy tuck. He also said there is no way of saying I wouldnt need 2 procedures down the road either, meaning when I reach my goal. So I have 2 ways of looking at this, first of all I am in major discomfort due to cellulitose (skin infection) and foliculitose(hair folicle infection)due to the massave size of my pannis (the lower part of my stomach)and the heat created from the weight of it resting(literally) on my lap. I have a very hard time wearing any kind of clothes because it looks absolutely hideous and only stretch pants will go over it. When I was at 422 I only wore dresses...but now all my clothes are too big and I dont want to buy new ones yet. Second of all tomorrow is not promised to us so therefore if I can experience one day of seeing my lap again then I figure the sooner the better. Why carry around a ball and chain if you dont have to? Dr O my wl surgeon also suggested to wait until I reach my goal, but I am aware that he has performed this type of surgery himself on his gb patients at the same time of the wls. I asked him to do this for me and he wouldnt........I am in excellent health, thank the Lord, and there was no real reason he couldnt do it for me. I am hoping and believing that with the exercise and strict diet I have become used to that my tummy will stay tucked. I mean its hard to imagine if he scrapes all the fat he possibly can and the skin that my tummy would loosen back up. Trust me I have alot of fat in other places thats keeping me from my goal. I really dont know, all I know is time will tell. So wont you all pray this will be the only time I have to have my tummy done. I hope so because I have a big list for him........breast, thighs underarms, and backside. I am not fooling myself into believing exercise will eliminate all the excess skin, although I know it doesnt hurt to try.
Sorry so longwinded!
