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.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS. I FORGET WHAT I WAS LIKE BEFORE MY SURGERY. I HAVE LOST 132 POUNDS AND FEEL GREAT!! I USUALLY STAY AROUND THE 143-145 RANGE.
I DID HAVE SOME PAIN IN MY STOMACH LAST NIGHT AND REALIZED THAT I WAS TAKING MEDICATION I SHOULD NOT BE TAKING!! SOMETIMES I FORGET THAT I HAVE A DIFFERENT DIGESTIVE TRACK. I THINK I WILL PRINT THE LIST AND KEEP IT IN MY PURSE.
EVERYTHING ELSE HAS REALLY BEEN A RIDE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE PLASTIC SURGERY BUT CANNOT AFFORD IT AT THIS TIME. MAYBE ONE DAY..........
