Panniculectomy without weight loss anyone?

I'm having a panniculectomy on August 8th and am not having it done as a result of massive or extreme weight loss. I am 5'0 and currently weight 209lbs...I had two c-sections and my panni is probably a Grade 2 or 3...I also have an umbilical hernia that is being repaired....I'd like to know if anyone has had this procedure done NOT as a result of massive weight loss? If so, any you'd like to share your before/after photos, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks

 i realize that this post is from 08` and we are now in 2012... but i was at 235lbs and needed a panniculectomy, well i got it. I am 12 days post op and i feel great love that i dont have the skin hanging no more i had 6 lbs of skin and fat removed.

I realize it is 2017, but I saw you post and wanted to check in to see how you're doing now. I have had a large panni since my son's childbirth. All the exercise in the world has done nothing for it. I am also heavy. I am comfortable with my size, but not with the panni. I feel it limits my ability to truly exercise and make the changes in activity I need to make. It causes difficulty when I walk and creates a lot of back pain. I have tried prescription weight loss pills with doctor supervision. None of them made a difference. My insurance will not cover a weight loss surgery and I simply cannot afford to pay for it and cover the monthly bill. I feel the quality of my life would improve tremendously if I just remove my panni. I have been told I would be a good candidate for the surgery, and the cost for it is a fraction of regular weight loss surgery. I would not be doing it for weight loss, but for the improvement to the quality of my day to day living. Hopefully you will be able to give me an update on how you're doing now. I would love to hear from you.
