Pannilectomy Date, tentative

My plastic surgeons office just called and gave me a date that could quite possibly change, August 25th. 3 Fridays from now. I am having what u call a pannilectomy. They are not going to tighten any abdominal muscles as with the abdomionplasty. They are only cutting off the loose skin. They told me that if I wanted the muscle tightening it was $6000, no thank u very much. Call me a tightwad, but I'll be happy with what my insurance is paying for. I am not picky. They're supposed to let me know for sure by Monday or Tuesday. It will be at Baptist East in Louisville and the surgery takes 1 1/2 hours. Not as long as my gastric bypass at least. I hope to come home that night but I believe they said I'd be in there one night. I'll keep ya posted. Hugs Ange p.s. I will also be having a umbilical hernia repair.

That's great, Angela! It sounds like it's exactly what you want (and paid for by your insurance!). Woo-hoo!! I'm happy for you. I know it'll make a big difference for you. Kathy

Thanks!!!! I am pretty excited and can't wait!

Congrats on the date!!! Keep us updated

Thanks & will do!
