Hi, I had gastric bypass 2 yrs ago. Best thing i ever did for myself as i was able to lose 145 lbs in order to have both total knee replacements done, and get a move on with my life now at 60! Had a couple complications of ulcers and a small bowel obstruction but all fixed up. I had excessive skin ans a fatty appron hanging down from which i dealth with lots of rashes. Wore support wear but anyway my surgeon reffered me for a abdominalplasty/ Panniculectomy. Lots of documentaion, about rashes and maintained weight for 8 months ect., denied by insurance. I worked with hoapital, self pay ...wasnt cheap but its done. Just because it can be done doesnt mean it should be, research possisble complications and %. Day 3 I had a bleed, felt faint, a drain bleed profusely. A 5 day stay with blood tranfusions, followed by and incisonal infection. Still self pay. Oh dear but im probabaly the 1%. But its going to be ok. I have a question. CT Scan of Abdomen shows multiple large hematomas. Ive been told that its best for my body to absorb vs revision surgery ro drain them. Hmm! I have more abdominal cramping now than i did right after surgery. Anyone have anything similar? I have sent appt. request to Mayos but my spouse wants to stay the current course. Thank you
