I have no clue what to really expect but I am still excited! I had to pay for the panniculectomy but ins covered the rest. ANy pointers of info would be appreciated!

Hi! good luck with yours too! **smiles** I did not know I had one. My stomach muscles are torn and on my sides .. I am assuming that is where my hernia is. Where ever it is I am just happy it is getting fixed. Have been to excited to settle down and ask the exact location but I will tomorrow whenI call the surgeons office. Let me know how you do! hugssss. Rain Spirit
