Funded,but no one wants to make the first cut

[Hollyhunny]

This is for anyone who has been following me on my journey.

I saw the plastics in Dec, he said he would do my apronectomy,but wanted me to see the swansea bariatric team first. I assumed it was so that the two could do the ops together. The gastric bypass dr said they would do it after I have the apronectomy.

So here we have two drs not wanting to do either surgery until the other does thiers first.

Meanwhile, my health is dwindling further.

Any suggestions?

i would of thought they would do the bypass first then the apronectomy... otherwise you could be back at square one after the bypass.. but then im not an expert... i hope they sort this out soon xx

 

[hopelesscase]

which bariatric team have you been refered to?

I would ask your GP for some guidance - having had my tummy tuck 5 years ago, it has made things more difficult for Mr Patel to do my bypass as my tummy was still pretty taught - not quiet a 6 pack - so all my wounds are tighter than they would have been had it been done the other way round.
Good Luck xx

im sorry if i have missed previous threads, but how have you got funding for an apronectomy when you need a bypass to help you lose weight, which obviously will cause the 'apron' in the first place.

it must be very frustrating to be in the middle of 2 people that have to make such a hard decision.

thanks, ive read that part but i still dont understand, im not honestly trying to be thick!

they know that losing weight will cause more of an issue so why do an apronectomy before bypass when there is a high chance another will be needed when maintanence is on the cards....surely to put her through so much surgery is not ideal?
