Hello All! I have a question that may seem strange, so let me give you the background real quick. After suffering years with UC (like many of you) and taking countless doses of prednisone, antidepressants, immune-suppressants, and eating bland foods as not to upset my gut, my weight sky rocketed and my self-esteem plummeted. After dealing with a failed J pouch (more surgeries) and finally a successful K pouch (YAY!) I went through my third (very challenging) pregnancy. Happy to report my healthy baby recently turned 1 year and my pouch seems (knock on wood) to be doing well. I have recently been working out and eating healthy with the goal of reclaiming some semblance of the body I had over a decade ago before the monster that was UC. From all the surgeries and pregnancies and evil evil prednisone, my skin is extremely stretched out. The more weight I lose, the worse it looks.
In 2001 when I consulted with Dr. Dietz, I asked him if a 'Tummy Tuck" procedure was possible in the far future. He was quick to say, Sure, as long a CR surgeon like my self was present to assist the plastic surgeon.
Now that I am getting closer to my goals of a healthy weight, I am wondering have any of you gone through plastic surgery with a k or bcir or do you know anything about it?
Now that I am in FL, I have recently reached out to Dr. Rehnke's office via email as that would be preferred for me (closer than Cleveland) (Although Cleveland is not out of the picture, just more $, more planning etc)
I apologize if this seems trivial to those still dealing with major pouch issues, and pain. I have just spent so many years feeling less than human, that now that my pouch is healthy, I want my body to reflect that success.
Also want to add that I underwent a successful C-section with this last pregnancy even with my K pouch!
Thank you! 
<3
