2 week post op - fleur de lis panniculectomy

Thank you so much! Even with the scars right now, I feel so much better then seeing what looked like to me crape paper skin... And really it's only been 2 weeks so I am sure even next year the scaring will have smoothed and lightened up.... It was 100% covered, thank goodness! I'm very happy I didn't chicken out :) 

thats awesome...Mr.Nohr seems to know what he's doing.

Do you need a referrel from your doctor to see him or can someone self refer?

For the Rny I needed a referral but I think because I was already seen by him I didn't require a referral for the panni. I just called his office and booked consultation... Are you considering a panni?

Yes I am but will till a year is up before I look around. I'm not at goal yet.....so excited to get it done. Hopefully next spring.

Yeah it's pretty amazing how "normal" looking my belly is... I don't ever remember having a flat tummy in my entire life before.... I kept almost chickening out when I would think of all the staples and huge cuts.... But then I decided to let go of my fears! When you reach your goal, and book a panni, just remember the pain part of it is only temporary, and really, not at all as bad as you would think it should be!

I"m not too worried about the pain. How long did the doctor say you would be off work? Just curious so I know how much time

so I can tell my coworkers/employer.

On my forms for work he said 6 weeks. I just have a desk/sitting job.

I hate to ask, cause you've been so great posting pictures, but how's the scar?

oh its for sure going to be HUGE! but I am hopeful over time it will fade. This is what it looks like at 1 month post op:

that looks so amazing!! lucky you!!
