A panni is so very worth it, no matter the cost or the initial pain. I had one many years ago after losing from 280 to 240, and I immediately felt so much better. No more rashes, no more heavy skin hanging down in front. I am so happy for both of you Lisa and Dee. (Now that I've lost another 90, I'm waiting for my own plastic surgery.)
And yes, we'd like befores and afters.

This has got to be a dream of mine for years to cut this extra skin off for How many countless hours in mirror i would dream of if I could only cut off this gut I i would look so much better as i was lifting this huge and i mean huge apron in my hands dreaming. Was SO bad hanging apron that i have bone spurs on my lower back from carry all this excess pannus and it is huge pannus. It will be worth the pain. I have this huge appendectomy scar 11 inches that will go away and that was a constant reminder of the failure of my old swim days was cut short when I made it to olympic trials doing the butterfly and was cut short whem my appendix ruptured. Dec 8th will be the rebirth of my new body and apri 1 2007 was the day I decided I was never gonna be the fool about being morbid obese again.
I will have pics

My tax return money will be used for a Boob job in 09, My daughters are teasing me I am gonna look like the bride of chuckie. they are just jealious I am gonna look like one hot momma LOL Ask the hosptial for undue hardship and show them undue hardship it puts on the family income and we did that and they reduced are medical bill by 80% of our deductiable we owed really helped us

Well my prayers were answerd and the the insurence has approved my panniculectomy and will have it in Dec. It was soooooooooooooooooo easy The docs office said she never had one approved so fast before and i said after seeing my pics I am sure they were thinking this poor lady her tummy just hangs to her thighs and she lost the thong in that pic.. omg a guy was looking at the pic and she kept refering to a he .. but I don't care as long as it never gets on internet and it is approved. Also will take care of my hernia as well. So hard to beleive this is gonna happen more excited then my lap band I keep pinching my self is the end of my long journey comming to a close...I am gonna feel so much better not having all that excess skin hanging down and bounce when I work out
I feel like I won the lottery
