I Want My Panni to Shrink Faster
Hi All,
I am about 6.5 months out and have lost 95 lbs since I went pre-op. So much of my excess weight is in my tummy. My butt is kind of small but my stomach hangs down my thighs. It has shrunk some-- I went from a size 28 pants to a 22. That's great but my tummy is still huge. There is still considerable room for it to shrink since I have at least 80 more pounds to lose to be really thin.
I would love to hear from others who have or have had a pronounced panni. How much did it shrink over time? Sometimes, I feel like mine is just as big and stretched out as when I started this journey. I know I will have to have plastics down the line as the skin is like that classic deflated beach ball.
TIA,
Pen

I'm coming up on 8 months out and I echo what you wrote. But, realistically I've gone from a very tight 32W to an 18. My gut HAS shrank, it's just that it's still jiggly and gross that bothers me. And I thin****il I have surgery, it'll likely always be that way, even closer to my goal weight. Gotta save those pennies :)
Highest: 380 / Surgery Day: 344 / Current: 203.8 / Goal: ~180 / Total Loss: 176.2

My panni is the reason why I'm 147ish pounds down and still wearing 22/24 pants. On top, I'm wearing an 18, but could probably go smaller except that I try to cover my panni with my tops.
I'm gonna sound like a broken record -- but everyone is different.
The last time I lost this amount of weight my panni was there, but it was less than an inch thick and still up on my body. This time it's a good 2 inches thick and running at least 4 inches down on each thigh.
Let's hope together that our pannis will shrink. But I definitely see plastics in my future.
Good luck!!
