Pannilectomy
Hi Franny... I had one back in June of 2011 along with the lower body lift (meaning they went all the way around and took skin from my back side too). It was very worth it in the end although a freaky experience to go through. I used alot of pillows to get myself in a position that was comfortable. And just like with the bariatric surgery, you feel alot better once the drains are removed. It's been 18 months now and my stomach is flat. I do have to tell you that any weight you gain after the surgery will go to other places, so I'm noticing my upper body and thighs seem to get the distribution. If there is anything you need to ask that I can remember, please feel free to respond.
I'm having mine done on the 7th!! Good luck to us both!
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
