Hi guys...haven't been on in a long time

Just wondering if anone had had a paniculetomy (sp?) and had their surgeon do the newer one with the large capital I shaped incison...under th bust, across the hip and a line connecting.  I am haviing this done Friday the 25th and am wondering how bad the recovery is...do I really need the recliner again?  I have one in the living room but was considering putting one in m bedroom for sleeping.   I don'tt see the surgeon til a day befpre so i'm not sure.  He didn't tell me at the prior appts. 

PS ~ I am down to 179 now...OMG.  I love this tool 
Hope everyone is doing GREAT! 

I don't know a thing about it - but I just wanted to wish you luck!   HOW exciting is this???  who knew it could be so great.  You give me hope.  I still have so far to go.  I'm down 110, but still have another 70 to go.  I have been in a stall lately, but still know I'll go further.

Congratulations on your weight loss Stella.  You have accomplished quite a bit!!  You have to update your ticker--you lost 310 pounds!!

I just had breast reduction surgery (not the same thing) but I slept on my recliner couch for the first 2 nights because I couldn't lay flat really easily.  I felt better after a few days because my butt was getting sore from the recliner and I can sleep on pillows under my body and my head at about 30 degrees up. 

Did you get insurance coverage for this?  I'm thinking about this at some point but I decided to do the reduction because that was the most pressing issue at this point.  My surgeon took 6 pounds off so that should give you an idea of what I had to compress when exercising, etc.

How did it go? How are you feeling?
