Our support group meeting on Monday 3rd March 2025 was another fantastic evening, filled with great conversation, expert insights, and plenty of friendly faces.
We were lucky to have Dr Michael Kernohan, Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, as our guest speaker. Dr Kernohan was joined by members of his team and brought a wonderful mix of warmth, humour, and practical advice to the night.
Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss Surgery: Highlights from Dr Kernohan’s Talk
- The different types of plastic surgery available after bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve & gastric bypass), including tummy tucks, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and breast procedures
- A step-by-step explanation of how the surgeries are performed
- What to expect in terms of hospital stay and recovery time
- Real patient stories, with before and after photos showcasing results after weight loss surgery
- A reminder that every patient is unique and the best treatment plan is developed during an initial consultation
To top it off, all attendees received a small goodie bag generously gifted by Dr Kernohan and his team.
A Night of Sharing and Support
We also enjoyed our usual tea, coffee, and fresh fruit, along with protein samples from BN Healthy. Our popular lucky door prize brought a fun close to the evening.
It was great to see both returning and new faces. These meetings continue to remind us how important it is to come together, learn, and support one another throughout the bariatric journey.
