A checklist of what I ask my patients to do before abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) after significant weight loss.
This checklist sets out the preparation I go through with patients booked for abdominoplasty after significant weight loss: blood panel, nutrition and supplements, time off work, support and home setup. It is written for anyone who has lost a large amount of weight and is considering surgery. Whether surgery suits you is decided at consultation, after a GP referral.
What is inside
- Abdominoplasty variations after major weight loss, with hospital stay, time off work and driving for each
- Hernia repair, BMI and weight stability
- Pre-operative nutrition: the blood panel, supplement tiers and protein target
- A timeline from 2 months before surgery to the week before
- Preparing your home, clothing, transport and support
The checklist is emailed, usually within a few minutes. Check junk if not received. A member of my team may call to confirm it arrived and answer questions about the consultation process. Occasional educational emails follow. Unsubscribe at any time.
