how long does panni surgery take?

anyone know? thanks :)

I had a panni around Mar 12th, I am completely healed now, I have another post -op May 12th, I wpould have it done again in a minute. wasn;t that much pain,  It took about 5 hours total, and I came home the next morning,  hope this helps. Lisa
p.s. they made me a new belly button, looks like the read thing!!!

My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday, with a hernia repair, I am on the schedule for 5+ hours.
Good luck....

I had panni plus extended TT, only took 3 1/2 hours.  Worth it even though I got an infection.  It is so wonderful to have that overhang gone...I really don't ever remember it not being there, so it's a great thing to feel "normal"  Best of luck

Hi Jo-Anna
Who's doing your surgery
I had mine done at Humber
Was scheduled for 8am but late getting into or
I was back in the day surgery room by noon and home by 2:30 [in Barrie]

i will be having done at scarborough gen....dr.sproule is doing it on mon. i phoned and they said around 2 hours for surgery and the same in recovery room. i will be staying over one night they also said.

I liked going home the same day, I was still heavily medicated so the bumps and traffic did bother me lol

I had mine a week ago yesterday.....surgery was about 3 hours, and I went home that same day.  He makes that decision, but I came out of it pretty well.  I had 2 drains, one removed yesterday and one will come out friday.  I have on a binder and I was going to go out and buy a different one and the PS said that the one I have is fine.  The 1st days I was real tired and stayed on my percocets every 4 hours as directed, more sore than pain and it was more at night than the day.  I ventured out this morning to walmart and I am exausted...too much!!  The swelling is alomst gone..can't say that I am in a different size pants yet, but that big flab of skin is gone!!!!  Good luck!
