HAD MY PANNICULECTOMY

Hi, I am finally feeling up to updating. I had my panni on Monday and am writing this post standing up I don't know how much he removed since I have not spoken to my surgeon since sugery. He cut me from hip to hip and down low on my pubic line sorry so graphic. I have 4 drains and will probably have them on til Tuesday. It is very painful let me tell you. I was in the hospital for 3 days and had problems with my blood pressure it was around 80/46. I am still running low bp but my heart rate is normal. I lost a lot of blood but not enough to need a transfusion. I am on a regular diet now, but I did not eat, Mon-Thursday. I barely ate today. I just could not stomach anything. The pain killers made me so sick. I had to stop them on Wednesday. I will post more when I feel up to it. I will also post how much excess skin was removed. Talk to you soon. ~Norma~

Norma, Glad you are feeling better try to rest ....... Tori

Glad to know you came through the surgery fine Norma. You'll keep getting better each day. They say it's a hard one to go through. Tori knows for sure. I'll fine out with my lower body lift in July. I hope you get plenty of rest. Keep us updated. Happy healing! Karla

I hope you are feeling better...I know i want to get that done eventually, but I think I am going to make it the last of the PS that I do, since I've heard how much it hurts! Take it easy, and do post when you are feeling better, I am curious as to the procedure. Kelli

Norma, congrats on starting the next level of your new life. Ihope you feel a little better every day. Hugs Chris

Thanks for checking in Norma. Hope you feel better soon.
