Merry Christmas to me!! Insurance Approval for my Panniculectomy!!
Thanks!! I am really really excited!!
Yes they are different.
Panniculectomy is basically that remove of loose skin/fat of the pannus. Which is basically what hangs down past where a normal tummy would be. Here's a link to explain it (I just did a quick search, the sites that come up seem endless)..
A tummy tuck does the above (I think) and then also tightens the abdominal muscles by pulling them together and sewing them together (thus why it isn't a great idea to have it done pre-kids) and also removing excess skin and pulling the skin tight and sewing you all back up. Here is a link to a Fleur de lis tummy tuck (I just did a quick search, the sites that come up seem endless).

I can NOT wait to see your transformation! Should certainly make running more pleasant, eh??
Yes to getting rid of both. I am looking forward to being able to start running again...hernias don't really love that and the panni really makes that a pain and not all that pretty of a sight!
