Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yes, no problem. Do not know the details but we have many patients come back for plasctic surgery including tummy tucks after they lose the weight.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Under the muscle? I believe they "lace-up" your deep abdominal muscles, to achieve that 6-pack look, but shouldn't be a problem. They pull down the upper abd skin to meet the lower abd skin after removing the "extra" skin. The lipo may need to be done more carefully around the port site. Other than that, I don't think there would be any problems. I posted earlier that Nina has the name of 2 plastic surgeons that work out of Almater. Hope this helps..Dana -------------- Original message -------------- From: "benyam02" <sheegog@...> I want to know if it's possible to have a tummy tuck or Lipo with the Lapband in place.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 It must be possible, I have met quite a few people with Gastric Bypass and Lap Bands that have had various types of plastic surgery including Lipo. I'm not sure I heard this correctly but I believe Dr. A has a couple of surgeons he suggests for these procedures and they work out of Almater Hospital. > > I want to know if it's possible to have a tummy tuck or Lipo with the > Lapband in place.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 >Dana, Could you also give me the names or any info you have so I can research them? It's not for me right now, since I'm only 1 week post- op, but my daughter is seriously thinking of this in the near future & asked me to find out who Dr. A. recomends, since I raved so much about the care & the Drs. down there.
