Tummy tuck gone bad

lared1967 · 06-27-2008, 01:55 PM

Years ago I had a tummy tuck. When I came out of recovery, I was so distraught. I still had these large folds of fat over my pelvic bones, in which I still have to date. I cant seem to get rid of these folds. I was suppose to have liposuction after my surgery, but the Surgeon I believe has closed its business. I know most insurances do not cover this. But I need help, as to where I can go in the South east Region to have this corrected. My clothes look aweful, and now if I gain weight its the top of my tummy not the bottom.
Any help would be appreciated.

Liposuction is the best way to remove fat from the body.There are some online sites are available which will provide you some info about it.So please try it.

I had a tummy tuck and lipo on Nov 5th 2008, and almost 1 year later i am still having problems. My tummy stays hard as a rock and swollen, sometimes it looks as if im 9 months pregnant! Why did I bother spending all the money and the results are no better than before the surgery? I think that my problem is the fluid is trapped because the drainage tubes were not ready to come out. I went back to the doctor that did the surgery but she wasnt willing to see what the problem may have been, only tried to blame it on some other medical condition that dosent exsist. I have since contacted another doctor for a second opinion.

I lost 89 lbs really fast and it left loose skin and it's really irritating when I go to buy pants. I don't mean irritating as in the big gap you have in some jeans and slacks, but meaning I have to pull my stomach up out of the waist of my pants/jeans when I sit down. If I don't, I get this sharp paint up my abdomen that stops at my navel. Since then I've had a hernia repaired and that doesn't help matters either. The pain seems to be worse. I don't I'm not going to gain the weight again because I'm no longer taking the medicine that caused the weight gain in the first place. There are factors that a surgeon would have to consider like the fact that I have Multiple Sclerosis. I'm not in a wheel chair or anything and I have had other surgeries after my diagnosis, you could say I'm a surgery veteran. I don't have major skin, but enough to cause all this trouble. Would this also be a tummy tuck?
