Double Z Plasty with VY advancement

Well, i put on a post about 12 hours ago with a link, but its still waiting for moderation.   Afraid the best i can say is google it.   The surgeon who invented it. Johnarhan Frappel has retired but he h trained others.   If you look for the name of the procedure and the surgeons name, there is a video of the whole op....

its designed to fix the bit that keeps tearing but is a neater job than the fentons.     In the description, it specifically refers to LS.

I too seem to be in the same boat as you.     :-(.    Lets hope this op fixes it.

Will keep you updated.

Thank you for response. I will look it up. Good luck and keep us all informed.x

I bought Emuaid soap and a 2oz jar of cream for 74 dollars over net. Went to my Dermotoligest yesterday took the paper work on it. He said don't order anymore. Didn't have anything extra in it. Just a big price for a bar of soap and moisturizer. Just use Dove soap if I just had to

there was a report ob dove some time ago, said it was one of the worst for causing problems.  Eek!

I was amazed that you were told to try Dove soap ! And by a DERMATOLOGIST? ! I strongly recommend you do not use it. I use Aveeno body wash without any problems and Hydromol ointment to moisturiser and act as a barrier. You may want to try or those . Or just use water to wash and Hydromol, its brilliant.

Thanks. I just read the ingredients in Dove soap. Didn't sound good to me

I too use only Aveeno. It was suggested to me by several hospice nurse when being caretaker of family in hospice care. It's all I use and take it with me when away from home.

I use emuaid max. it's my life saver and worth the expense. I still use clob on flare ups.

Well this is known as the plymouth procedure, done at plymouth hospital and developed by jonathan frappel, specifically to help a patient who has no luck with the fentons.   It uses the sort of stitching techniques used in plastic surgery.

a bit of searching and you can find a video which explains it really well....

A. week on from having it done i am feeling fine, though a bit sore and bruised.   I can sit and walk ok, bending down is a bit of a chalkenge.   Not yet ready to go back to my  very physical gardening job, maybe another week or so.....

Have been sitting in baths of bicarb and back to my normal routine with borax.       The itching is the sort of itch you get when something is healing.....  Its bearable,

still wearing loose clothing, wont be back in my tight jeans for a week or two.....   But all well so far.

shame we cant edit our posts, i have no idea why my sign off appeared half way though!
